This is the longest sentence handed down in Colorado federal court for a crime involving distributing fentanyl that resulted in death, according to United States Attorney Cole Finegan.
It is the longest sentence handed down in Colorado federal court for such a crime, United States Attorney Cole Finegan said after the sentencing.
According to facts presented at the trial, Holder worked with co-conspirators — which included members of his family, such as his wife and children — to distribute pills. They looked like 30mg Oxycodone pills, but were counterfeit and spiked with fentanyl, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. According to the Associated Press, he had his teenage son sell pills to help pay for shoes and equipment he needed to play sports.
Holder was arrested in August 2018, but he continued to talk with his co-conspirators about destroying evidence. They also discussed possibly murdering a witness who was cooperating with investigators. "But today, we have satisfaction and knowing that our system worked," she said."It's been a long process. These cases are very hard to prosecute.""But the agents in my daughter's case, in the Ellington's case... went above and beyond to work very hard and investigate and bring this case to where it is now," she said.
"Today has been a long time coming," Finegan said."For all of us involved and for over five years, we've waited for this moment. And while justice has arrived, there is no joy that comes with this moment. Because while justice has arrived, people behind me, the people in the courtroom earlier this evening — their loved ones will not be returned to them."
