Sentencing today in crack cocaine case

Derek W. Isom, a co-defendant in a case that involved an assertion that police and a defense lawyer set up other co-defendant Khalid Mason to be charged with drug offenses, is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court today.

The case against Mason was dismissed last month following word of conflicting assertions by police about the existence of notes from surveillance of Mason's houses three years ago.

Mason and Isom were accused by authorities of running a crack distribution ring from a house at 214 Pavilion Ave., in South Providence.
