Daryl "Dazzy" Session reiterated his drug dealing but said he never ordered the killing of three men who robbed him.

He was a drug dealer but no killer, Daryl "Dazzy" Session said Friday.As he stood before U.S. District Judge David G. Larimer to be sentenced for running a drug ring that brought more than 100 kilograms of cocaine to Rochester, Session reiterated his drug dealing but said he never ordered the killing of three men who robbed him.
"I'm sorry I did wrong by selling drugs," Session said. "I never wanted to compound my involvement by being in shootouts and stabbings and things like that. ... My mother raised me to respect people, and that's the way I've been."But Larimer, who found after a hearing that Session had indeed ordered hits on three people — resulting in the death of one — called Session a danger to the community and ordered him to prison for 33 years."I can't think of someone more violent than someone who doesn't do the dirty deed himself but hires someone to do it," Larimer said.Session, 36, pleaded guilty in January to charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, possession of cocaine, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug traffic. He faced at least 25 years in prison because he pleaded guilty without a plea agreement with prosecutors, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas E. Gregory.At a sentencing hearing this summer, witnesses testified that Session paid $10,000 to kill Leonard "Fendy" Spears, 26, who was gunned down in a car at West Main and King streets on June 3, 2001. Two other men also were targeted; one was shot and survived and one escaped."He was a defendant who considered a human life was worth $10,000," Gregory said.Court documents said Session was exacting revenge against the men, who had shot him in the leg in March 2001 during the attempted robbery of a drug house he ran as part of his drug operation from January 2000 through April 2005.Larimer found that the shootings were revenge for the robbery and shooting but weren't done in furtherance of the drug trade. The judge's ruling, however, allowed him to enhance Session's penalty
