Ronald Allen Harmelin is an Italian/Jewish Philadephia native who was thrust into the national spotlight when he was convicted, in Michigan, of possession of more than 650 grams of cocaine and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. Harmelin is a USAF veteran who supported himself for many years hustling private games of pool and entering 9-ball tournaments on the "underground" club circuit across the US. The Michigan charge was his first felony conviction, and he appealed the horrifically disproportionate sentence. The Supreme Court, in 1991, upheld the Michigan court's decision.
