Moorer imposed a 96-month sentence of imprisonment in Snider’s case this morning, consisting of 60 months on the gun charges consecutive to 36 months on the drug charge. The judge ordered that Snider serve a five-year term of supervised release when she is released from custody. She was also ordered to pay $200 in mandatory special assessments. No fine was imposed. The judge further entered a forfeiture order as to the firearms used in the commission of the crime.
