She now faces up to 20 years on each count.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors claim she helped orchestrate an elaborate ruse using forged financial transactions and her son\u2019s celebrity status to illegally acquire over $1 million worth of high-end merchandise, including luxury vehicles, electronics, and jewelry.<\/p>\n<p>Turner is asking for no more than 30 months behind bars, citing her poor health, limited criminal background, and lack of personal profit from the fraud scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Her attorneys argued that the long-term penalty she faces is excessive given the circumstances.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sean Kingston, mother convicted in Fort Lauderdale federal wire fraud trial\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HmK2CTEkrH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cA sentence of thirty (30) months or less will serve the purposes of sentencing by satisfying the need for deterrence,\u201d the filing states, noting Turner did not benefit financially.<\/p>\n<p>During the trial, the judge labeled Turner the \u201cfixer\u201d and \u201cnerve center\u201d of the operation, which involved convincing retailers to release goods without payment.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\u200c\" href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/tag\/sean-kingston\">Sean Kingston<\/a> did not testify in his own defense. Turner, however, admitted to making fake wire transfers.<\/p>\n<p>Though both were found guilty, Turner\u2019s consequences stretch beyond prison.<\/p>\n<p>After her prison sentence, Turner is set to be deported to Jamaica, losing her U.S. residency and creating what her defense team describes as \u201cpermanent separation from her family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given those stakes, Turner is requesting to be placed in a federal facility as close to Miami as possible to allow for family visits. The nearest women\u2019s prison is located in Tallahassee, nearly 500 miles away.<\/p>\n<p>Letters submitted on her behalf portray her as a kind and service-driven woman who has helped others through her community work. The defense has leaned heavily into her age and declining health, hoping it will influence the court\u2019s final decision.<\/p>\n<p>Turner will learn her fate when she returns to court on July 23, 2025.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/sean-kingston-mom-kicked-out-united-states-sentencing\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Janice Turner requested leniency from a federal judge ahead of her August sentencing, hoping to avoid decades in prison.
