The one-page indictment gave no details of the path that led investigators to Martin, who has a 1988 conviction for receiving stolen goods on his record. He remained free on his own recognizance after the hearing, pending sentencing. Much of the government's evidence has been covered by a protective order prohibiting its public disclosure.
DeKrey expects U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz, the chief federal judge for Minnesota, to set a sentencing date around three months out. He declined to say what the two sides are recommending for a sentence but noted the nonbinding federal sentencing guidelines have recommended 10 to 12 years in similar cases.
