On July 11, 2017, David Mosley, a 35-year-old resident of Wilmington, Delaware, was charged in federal court with numerous violent crimes. The case, which went before the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleged that Mosley had committed a series of violent acts between 2015 and 2017.
According to the indictment, Mosley was accused of being involved in a violent gang, where he participated in the commission of violent crimes, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. The indictment also alleged that Mosley had used a firearm to commit a crime of violence, a charge that carried a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.
On January 15, 2019, Mosley, represented by his defense attorney, pleaded guilty to all 14 counts against him, including the charge of using a firearm to commit a crime of violence. Under the terms of his plea agreement, Mosley agreed to cooperate with the government in their ongoing investigation into the activities of the violent gang.
On March 20, 2019, U.S. District Judge Leonard P. Stark sentenced Mosley to a total of 20 years in prison for his role in the violent crimes. The sentence included a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence for the charge of using a firearm to commit a crime of violence. Mosley’s cooperation with the government was taken into consideration during the sentencing, as he provided information that led to the arrest and prosecution of several other gang members. Mosley was also ordered to pay a fine of $1,000 and to serve a 3-year term of supervised release after his release from prison.
