Kevin Francisco Cordon is a Los Angeles bartender who has lived in that city his entire life.

FACT: His defense filing described him as the product of a loving and supportive family with a strong family unit, with consistent employment before his arrest and positive contributions to his community over the years. Source: defense sentencing memorandum in the same case. FACT: He was Criminal History Category I. Source: defense sentencing memorandum. Bar work is service work. Long nights, a hundred people a shift, everybody wanting something at the same time. Kevin Cordon held down that job in one of the most expensive cities in America, in a city he never left. THE LEGAL FIGHT FACT: Arrested March 9, 2021. Initial appearance March 16, 2021. FACT: Indicted April 2, 2021. Arraigned May 18, 2021 and pleaded not guilty to all counts. FACT: Plea agreement entered August 27, 2021 to a misdemeanor. Misdemeanor is not felony. FACT: The government asked the court for 30 days in jail. FACT: On November 15, 2021, Judge Trevor N. McFadden sentenced him to 12 months probation, 100 hours of community service, a $4,000 fine and $500 restitution. He served no jail time. The judge did not give the government what it asked for.

NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: An individual clemency certificate for Kevin Francisco Cordon has not been located in the records reviewed here. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE A misdemeanor probation sentence is not a felony conviction and it is not a prison term. One hundred hours of community service is a hundred hours given back to Los Angeles. That is how this one ended. CASE RECORD Name: Kevin Francisco Cordon City: Los Angeles, California Case number: 1:21-cr-277 Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge: Hon.
