SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 22 – Daniel Spiegelman
absconded from the Bronx
Reentry Center half-way house
-- on October 4, 2012, more
than eight years ago.
On November
13 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John P. Cronan held a
change of plea proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Spiegelman said
that back in 2012 he had a
case of the tremors and left
the halfway house to get
medical attention. Then he
never went back, instead
moving to Brooklyn. He had
multiple aliases.
Now he had a
Pimintel letter and awaited
sentencing, on February 19,
2021. Judge Cronan said he
hoped it would be in person.
It was
not. But Inner City Press
covered it - and dug into it.
While the 1999 SDNY case
against Speigelman is not a
live link in PACER, there's
this: "In the spring of 1994,
Daniel Spiegelman shinnied up
an abandoned book lift in
Columbia University's Butler
Library, dismantled a wall,
stole books."
Now after
all this time, on Feb 19
Spiegelman was sentenced to a
year and a day and then three
years of supervised release. A
year and a day, with "good
time," means less.
The case is US v.
