Mentions 1 Tags PersonLawyerLawEnforcement

Chris Cannon was the San Francisco defense attorney for Ben Kalka. He explained that the chemical precursors necessary to make the amount of methamphetamine Kalka produced would require all the precursor sold in one year in the United States on the open market. Cannon struck a deal that resulted in Kalka's sentence being overturned, contingent upon Kalka signing a letter stating he did not obtain his precursors from the U.S. government.1

Michael Riconosciuto told Cannon that he had records proving the precursors Kalka used were provided by the U.S. government. Riconosciuto also described the role of federal agents and their authorization for him to sell Kalka the final ingredient needed to make methamphetamine.1
