METH PRISON SENTENCE REDUCED TO SEVEN YEARS

Grand Island, Neb. - A California woman involved in a Grand Island area
drug-trafficking ring had her sentence shortened in U.S. District Court in
Lincoln.

U.S. Attorney Tom Monaghan said Wednesday that Judge Richard Kopf sentenced
Mary Ann Rounsavall, 48, of Fontana, Calif., to seven years in prison
followed by 10 years of supervised release. She had been convicted of
conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and money laundering.

At the time of her sentencing in 1996, the government filed a motion to
shorten the otherwise mandatory federal sentencing guideline range of 30
years to life in prison. She was sentenced in 1996 to the statutory minimum
of 20 years in prison.
