After receiving a 10-year federal prison sentence for a racketeering and money laundering conviction, Cali cartel operative Eddy Martinez has sued his lawyer. Martinez was convicted in a 1997 trial that marked a major effort to cripple the drug cartel. Miami car dealer Martinez now says he didn't get the courtroom representation he expected. While he hired attorney Samuel Burstyn and paid him more than $175,500, he claims it was another lawyer who took the lead at trial.
