Membreno was initially scheduled to be sentenced in Federal Court in Boston in January, but it was delayed 2 months until March, and then the March date was pushed back until today.
Membreno faces prison time for two felonies: interstate travel in the commission of murder for hire, and carrying, using or possessing a firearm in connection with a crime of violence.
