The defendant, Bullock, seems to have been a member of a crack/heroin distribution ring. He pleaded guilty to five counts of heroin distribution. The trial judge sentenced him to 100 years (20 years per count). The appeals court seems to have thought that the extent of Bullock's participation in the overall conspiracy was not as extensive as the trial judge thought. The appeals court vacated the sentence and remanded the case to the trial court to re-consider the length of the sentence. Although the appeals court did not tell the trial court how long the sentence should be, there is a suggestion that the appellate court thinks that 30 years is appropriate.
