SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 

CASE NO. 22-CR-80128-CANNON 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

vs. 

GEORGE MURILLO, 

Defendant. 

I ---------------

PLEA AGREEMENT 

The United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (''this Office") 

and GEORGE MURILLO (hereinafter referred to as the "defendant") enter into the fol 

agreement: Wi 

1. The defendant agrees to plead guilty to th~~~ Indictment, which 

count charges the defendant with Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person 

in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(g)(l ). 

2. The defendant is aware that the sentence will be imposed by the Court after 

considering the advisory Federal Sentencing Guidelines and Policy Statements (hereinafter 

"Sentencing Guidelines"). The defendant acknowledges and understands that the Court will 

compute an advisory sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines and that the applicable 

guidelines will be determined by the Court relying in part on the results of a pre-sentence 

investigation by the Court's probation office, which investigation will commence after the 

guilty plea has been entered. The defendant is also aware that, under certain circumstances, 

the Court may depart from the advisory sentencing guideline range that it has computed and 

Case 9:22-cr-80128-AMC Document 23 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/12/2022 Page 1 of 5
2 

may raise or lower that advisory sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines. The defendant is 

further aware and understands that the Court is required to consider the advisory guideline 

range determined under the Sentencing Guidelines but is not bound to impose a sentence 

within that advisory range; the Court is permitted to tailor the ultimate sentence in light of 

other statutory concerns, and such sentence may be either more severe or less severe than the 

Sentencing Guidelines' advisory range. Knowing these facts, the defendant understands and 

acknowledges that the Court has the authority to impose any sentence within and up to the 

statutory maximum authorized by law for the offense identified in paragraph 1 and that the 

defendant may not withdraw the plea solely as a result of the sentence imposed. 

3. The defendant also understands and acknowledges that Court may impose a 

statutory maximum term of imprisonment of up to ten years, followed by a term of supervised 

release of up to three years. In addition to a term of imprisonment and supervised release, the 

Court may impose a fine of up to $250,000 and may order forfeiture. 

4. The defendant further understands and acknowledges that, in addition to any 

sentence imposed under paragraph 3 of this agreement, a special assessment in the amount of 

$100 will be imposed on the defendant. The defendant agrees that any special assessment 

imposed shall be paid at the time of sentencing. If a defendant is financially unable to pay the 

special assessment, the defendant agrees to present evidence to this Office and the Court at the 

time of sentencing as to the reasons for the defendant's failure to pay. 

5. This Office reserves the right to inform the Court and the probation office of all 

facts pertinent to the sentencing process, including all relevant information concerning the 

offenses committed, whether charged or not, as well as concerning the defendant and the 

Case 9:22-cr-80128-AMC Document 23 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/12/2022 Page 2 of 5

defendant's background. Subject only to the express terms of any agreed-upon sentencing 

recommendations contained in this agreement, this Office further reserves the right to make 

any recommendation as to the quality and quantity of punishment. 

6. This Office agrees that it will recommend at sentencing that the Court reduce 

by two levels the sentencing guideline level applicable to the defendant's offense, pursuant to 

Section 3El.l(a) of the Sentencing Guidelines, based upon the defendant's recognition and 

affirmative and timely acceptance of personal responsibility. If at the time of sentencing the 

defendant's offense level is determined to be 16 or greater, this Office will file a motion 

requesting an additional one level decrease pursuant to Section 3E l. l(b) of the Sentencing 

Guidelines, stating that the defendant has assisted authorities in the investigation or 

prosecution of the defendant's own misconduct by timely notifying authorities of the 

defendant's intention to enter a plea of guilty, thereby permitting the government to avoid 

preparing for trial and permitting the government and the Court to allocate their resources 

efficiently. This Office, however, will not be required to make this motion if the defendant: 

(1) fails or refuses to make a full, accurate and complete disclosure to the probation office of 

the circumstances surrounding the relevant offense conduct; (2) is found to have 

misrepresented facts to the government prior to entering into this plea agreement; or (3) 

commits any misconduct after entering into this plea agreement, including but not limited to 

committing a state or federal offense, violating any term of release, or making false statements 

or misrepresentations to any governmental entity or official. 

7. The defendant is aware that the sentence has not yet been determined by the 

Court. The defendant also is aware that any estimate of the probable sentencing range or 

Case 9:22-cr-80128-AMC Document 23 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/12/2022 Page 3 of 5
4 

sentence that the defendant may receive, whether that estimate comes from the defendant's 

attorney, this Office, or the probation department, is a prediction, not a promise, and is not 

binding on this Office, the probation department, or the Court. The defendant understands 

and acknowledges, as previously acknowledged in paragraph 2 above, that the defendant may 

not withdraw his plea based upon the Court's decision not to accept a sentencing 

recommendation made by the defendant, this Office, or a recommendation made jointly by the 

defendant and this Office. 

8. This Office and the defendant agree that, although not binding on the probation 

department or the Court, they will jointly recommend that the Court make the following 

findings and conclusions as to the sentence to be imposed: 

a. Base Offense Level: That the Base Offense Level is 20, pursuant to 

U.S.S.G. § 2k2.l(a)(4). 

b. Other Specific Offense Characteristics: That no other specific offense 

characteristics are applicable to the defendant or the offense. 

9. This Office agrees to recommend that any term of imprisonment imposed on the 

companion Violation of Supervised Release Petition, see l 7-cr-80063-KAM, predicated on 

the same offense conduct, run concurrently to the sentence imposed on the instant matter. 

10. By signing this agreement, the defendant voluntarily abandons all right, title and 

interest in the firearms and ammunition in possession of the A TF in connection with this 

matter. The firearms and ammunition include: (1) a Smith & Wesson, model M&P 

Bodyguard 38 Crimson Trace, .38 Special caliber revolver, (2) twenty-five (25) rounds of 

Case 9:22-cr-80128-AMC Document 23 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/12/2022 Page 4 of 5

assorted ammunition . .,t\4-- S~(lf ~\fef() ~ UJd / /mcJVt;, , .. Yo .cilJWllf-S ~ . ~-~I~.
