Facing a 15-year to life prison term if convicted on drug-dealing charges in New York, Hoffman has been on the lam since jumping bail 13 months ago. In an interview with Ron Rosenbaum of New Times and TV Documentary Producer Michael Shamberg, Hoffman described in considerable detail his new life as a member of the underground.
