summary: "San Francisco defense attorney for Ben Kalka who uncovered evidence that methamphetamine precursors were provided by the U.S. government."
|
||
---
|
||
[[Chris Cannon]] was the San Francisco defense attorney for [[Ben Kalka]]. He explained that the chemical precursors necessary to make the amount of methamphetamine Kalka produced would require all the precursor sold in one year in the [[United States]] on the open market. Cannon struck a deal that resulted in Kalka's sentence being overturned, contingent upon Kalka signing a letter stating he did not obtain his precursors from the [[United States|U.S. government]].[^1]
|
||
|
||
[[Michael Riconosciuto]] told Cannon that he had records proving the precursors Kalka used were provided by the [[United States|U.S. government]]. Riconosciuto also described the role of federal agents and their authorization for him to sell Kalka the final ingredient needed to make methamphetamine.[^1]
