United States of America vs. Jibreel Rashad

United States of America vs. Jibreel Rashad was part of the highly publicized Dallas City Hall public corruption case in which 13 others, including a city councilman, a planning & zoning commissioner, and a state representative were also indicted, following a massive 2 1/2 year FBI investigation. The case involved 38,823 Title III Wire Intercepts, 48 search warrants for items such as bank records, computer hard drives, cell phones, and personal papers and effects, 200 bankers boxes of documents, 100 “consensual encounters” which were audio/videotaped by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 1 terabyte of additional electronic evidence. Mr. Rashad, whom Ms. Sasso represented, had been a standout football player at Wilmer Hutchins High School, a full scholarship defense back at the University of Texas At El-Paso, and a National Football League player for the New York Giants under Bill Parcells for one summer camp, where he was one of the last players cut. He is currently incarcerated in the Federal Correctional Institute in Yazoo City, Mississippi, where he is serving a 51-month sentence on this case, along with a 135-month sentence for mortgage fraud that he received in an unrelated federal case out of the Northern District Of Texas, that occurred during, and was discovered during the public corruption investigation.
