Court records show Raymond Horsch cooperated with feds in 2010 drug case
New court filings reveal that the late Raymond "R.C." Horsch reached an agreement with federal prosecutors in 2012 that helped him avoid the prospect of a 15-year prison sentence.
The filings show Horsch, who has been linked to several missing women, provided information to federal prosecutors in exchange for a reduced sentence. The records have prompted questions about the agreement and what prosecutors knew about Horsch at the time.

What information Raymond Horsch provided
to federal investigators is unclear.
Horsch was indicted for a marijuana grow operation
in excess of 100 plants
with intent to distribute in his Chalfont home.
He also faced gun charges.
High-profile defense attorney Bill Brennan says plea deals
and cooperation with the feds is extremely common.
I don't see the government as being
nefarious here in any way whatsoever.
This is normal stuff.
In its response to unseal the drug case filings,
the U.S. Attorney's Office did not oppose to most being unsealed,
but did so with respect to the sentencing transcript
and another sentencing motion.
Horsch is no longer alive, so would not face any harm to the unsealing.
But Brennan says they may have other
sensitive investigative information,
though the court filing revealed Horsch did
not offer testimony against any criminal defendant.
There may be other sensitive information about other individuals,
maybe who were charged or uncharged,
and or law enforcement officials that would be sensitive to this day,
the release of which may be more harmful.
