SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 9 – A man convicted of
armed robbery in 2009 a decade
later absconded from a
half-way house in The
Bronx.
On
September 9 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge Jed
S. Rakoff held a sentencing
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
Assistant US Attorney asked
for 12 to 18 months for
Waverly Stephens. Judge Rakoff
said that was far too long,
but that some incarceration
was needed.
He arrived at six
months, three of which have
already been served. Stephens
thanked him.
The case is US v.
Stephens, 21-cr-394 (Rakoff)
