Convicted Noriega co-defendant will cooperateMIAMI (AP) — Sentencing for one of two men convicted of trading arms for cocaine — allegedly in league with former Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega — was delayed after he agreed to cooperate in Noriega's prosecution.Brian Davidow, convicted in March of drug trafficking, agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of a plea bargain that also involves drug charges in another case, his lawyer. Richard Sharp-stein, said Thursday.Davidow, 29, faced a maximum of 40 years in prison at his sentencing, which was to have taken place today.Sharpstein said that under terms of the plea bargain Davidow will plead guilty, probably next week, to one of two counts in the second case, which also involves cocaine smuggling.Sharpstein said he expects the government will then recommend that Davidow be allowed to serve all sentences from both cases concurrently.Davidow, who remains free on bond, is the fifth Noriega co-defendant to agree to cooperate with the U.S. attorney’s office. He could be called to testify at Noriega’s trial, which is to begin July 22.
