YFN Lucci could soon be a free man after District Attorney Fani Willis submitted a letter to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles backing him for early release from prison.
“The District Attorney of Fulton County did the unorthodox,” Lucci’s attorney Drew Findling said. “That letter from the district attorney is a powerful punch and is really at the heart of the letter and supporting documents and the memorandum that we have shared with the parole board.”
In her letter, Fani Willis wrote:
“Pursuant to the parties’ negotiated agreement, the State does not object to Defendant, Rayshawn Bennett being released from Department of Corrections the first time he becomes eligible for parole or after serving one-third of his prison sentence, whichever comes first. This recommendation by the State is conditioned upon the Defendant’s compliance with the lawful authority of all Department of Corrections personnel and having had no incidents of any kind in any facility in which he has been housed while in the custody of the Department of Corrections. Attached to this letter is a file-stamped copy of the Defendant’s Final Disposition. Should any of the Board Members have questions regarding the State’s recommendation, please feel free to contact my office anytime.”
In January, Lucci pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Street Gang and Terrorism Prevention Act and was sentenced to 20 years. The first 10 years will be time served, as he has been locked up since January 2021. Lucci is eligible for parole in three and a half months, and, if the parole is granted, he would be eligible to serve the rest of his sentence on probation.
