Currently living in a federal prison in Michigan, Schuh will be here Wednesday for resentencing by U.S. Judge John Shabaz, whose original 19-year sentencing of Schuh - the former Jocko's owner - on drug charges was partially vacated by a federal appellate court last month in Chicago. The appellate court tossed the portion of Schuh's sentence asserting he had a leadership role in the drug dealing at Jocko's. Schuh's appellate lawyer, Robert Henak of Milwaukee, said Schuh was very pleased by the ruling. "We both were," Henak said Wednesday. Henak said that federal guidelines dictate Schuh's new sentence at somewhere between 10 and 12 years. "He's also eligible for a 16 percent reduction in sentence each year - after the first year - for good behavior," Henak said. That works out to between 51 and 53 days a year. Along with receiving a revised presentence report, Shabaz on Wednesday will hear arguments from prosecutors and Henak before pronouncing the new sentence. Since his incarceration Schuh has been active in the November Coalition, an organization devoted to rethinking the wisdom of lengthy prison terms for nonviolent drug offenders. ...
