The Knoxville News Sentinel reports Daniel Sands, the son of a drug trafficker, could receive as much time in federal prison for using Facebook to threaten a witness as his father may receive. Sands pleaded guilty Monday to the charge and now faces a minimum mandatory term of 10 years up to life in prison. His father, Leonard Sands, faces life in prison for drug conspiracy and money laundering charges. Daniel Sands will be sentenced in May; sentencing for his father is pending.
