WILLIAMSPORT – A former District of Columbia drug kingpin who two years ago had the expectation he would spend the rest of his life in prison could be a free man in less than 30 months.Rayful Edmond III, 57, has had the benefit of sentence reductions in Washington and on Tuesday for a second time by U.S. Middle District Judge Matthew W. Brann because of extensive cooperation with authorities.The effect of judge's ruling was to reduce the 30-year term originally imposed in 1997 by the late Senior Judge Malcom Muir to 24 years.
