U.S. District Judge Wiley Young Daniel Sentences Prison Escapee German Antonio Ocampo-Gutierrez to 18 Months
Wiley Young Daniel was born in 1946 in Louisville, KY. In 1968, he graduated with a B.A. from Howard University. Daniel also earned his J.D. from Howard University School of Law in 1971.

From 1971 to 1977, he worked in private practice in Detroit, MI. Daniel served as a director of Wayne County Neighborhood Legal Services from 1974 to 1976, and he was an adjunct professor at the Detroit College of Law from 1974 to 1977. He moved his private practice to Denver, CO, in 1977. Daniel served as an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado School of College of Law during that same year and he continued teaching until 1980. From 1979 to 1983, he also served as a director of Colorado’s Personal Services Board, and he was a director and vice-chair of the lliff School of Theology in 1983.


President Bill Clinton nominated Daniel to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Colorado on March 31, 1995. On June 30, 1995, the U.S. Senate confirmed the judge, and he received his commission the same day. From 2008 to 2012, Daniel served as chief judge. He took senior status on January 1, 2013.

According to The Denver Post editorial, “Federal judge sentences prison escapee to 18 months,” on Wednesday, June 26, 2013, German Antonio Ocampo-Gutierrez’s attorney, Edward Harris, told U.S. District Judge Daniel that his client isn’t the same individual who escaped a Florence prison camp and was a fugitive for almost twenty years. Harris also delivered Ocampo-Gutierrez’s written statement to Daniel. The fugitive stated, “I have grown gray hair, and I have acquired much wisdom over my life of hard labor.”

The AP article noted that although Daniel accepted Ocampo-Gutierrez’s story of redemption, the judge overruled his appeal to serve an eighteen-month sentence for escape concurrently with nearly two years left on his original sentence. Daniel claimed, “There is no doubt a fair and just sentence is a sentence that requires incarceration for escape. You can’t be a fugitive for 20 years and then ask for the court’s mercy so you don’t do additional time.”

Harris told the AP column that Ocampo-Gutierrez would not be released from prison before June 2016. In 1987, a federal judge in Texas convicted Ocampo-Gutierrez to fifteen years. According to court documents, the fifty-seven year old was charged for conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute one hundred and eight pounds of cocaine. Ocampo-Gutierrez served most of his sentence in several federal prisons until October 21, 1993. On that date, he was transferred to a Florence prison camp, where he managed to escape two months later.

The AP editorial pointed out that Ocampo-Gutierrez held resident alien status until he was deported for his 1993 sentence. On November 7, 2012, he was returned to custody after Border Patrol agents detained him near Progreso, TX. The agents caught Ocampo-Gutierrez trying to re-enter the United States.

The AP article captured the courtroom scene. Harris’ client cried while he spoke to the judge. The attorney asserted that Ocampo-Gutierrez had a job, committed no crimes, and raised a family after he fled a Florence prison camp. Daniel was not persuaded by Harris’ argument. The judge said, “Leniency in the form of no additional time is not justified.”
