WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A former aircraft mechanic who fled to Equador after he was charged with selling stolen aircraft parts on eBay is asking a federal judge for leniency.
Diego Alejandro Paz-Teran is due in court for sentencing Monday before U.S. District Judge Monti Belot. The former Cessna Aircraft mechanic wants the judge to take into account his acceptance of responsibility because he voluntarily returned to the U.S. to face the 2009 charges.
He pleaded guilty to interstate transfer of stolen property, and prosecutors dismissed a separate indictment for failing to appear.
His attorney told the court in a filing Friday his client contacted him last year so he could surrender.
Paz-Teran is asking for a prison term of 12 months and a day rather than the 30 months sought by prosecutors.
