The sentence reflects the court’s determination of Sidhu’s responsibility for organizing and leading the operation during the period covered by the guilty plea. While details of quantities and specific trafficking methods are not fully provided in the excerpts shared by the outlets, the sources consistently describe the conviction, the duration of the conspiracy, the jurisdiction in California, and the 20-year prison term.
