105-Year Sentence Upheld for Long Valley Man

An attempt to overturn a 105-year prison term given to a former Long Valley resident was denied by the United States Court of Appeals in Virginia Thursday, 15 months after the sentencing. 

Day led an international conspiracy to defraud the DOD of more than $11.2 million and supplied the military with nonconforming and defective parts for military aircraft, vehicles and weapons systems.

A three-judge panel reviewed Day’s case and found his various claims “without merit,” the ruling said.

In the appeal, Day said his extradition from Mexico at the time of arrest was improper, and that the sentence of 105 years in prison was too much.

The court affirmed the ruling of the district court.
