Text: Moeckly was admitted to the bar on September 6, 1974. He practiced law in Britton, South Dakota and also worked on a part-time basis as a law trained magistrate. On October 6, 1984, a jury of the United States District Court (D.Minn.3d) returned a guilty verdict which convicted Moeckly of two (2) counts perjury, one (1) count conspiracy to import cocaine, and one (1) count of conspiracy with intent to distribute cocaine. He was sentenced to serve seven years in prison and pay a $10,000 fine. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this decision. See: United States v.
