SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 25 – Tyre Davis was on
supervised release when,
according to his guilty plea
in state court, he stole a
motor vehicle from Zhou Hang
Li. On November 25 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
Davis was up for sentencing by
Judge Richard J. Sullivan.
The detainee's lawyer Allan
Paul Haber said wanly, He's
not a bad kid, he just gets
into trouble.
Judge Sullivan addressed Davis
directly, that he needs to get
his life together. Davis spoke
up, asking why if he had a job
at Tiffany's he would have
robbed a delivery man working
only for
tips? A
woman in the courtroom
gallery, where only she and
Inner City Press were, spoke
up and said she had told Davis
to plead guilty.
Judge Sullivan told Davis, but
you admitted this under oath.
In the May 8, 2019 transcript
from NYC Supreme Court in
Queens County, Justice Charles
Lopresto asked, Do you
understand that a plea of
guilty is the same as a
conviction after trial?
Davis replied,
Yes.
Judge Sullivan,
now also of the Second Circuit
Court of Appeals, sentenced
Davis to two years of Federal
time, to run consecutive to --
after -- his seven year state
sentence. It was a proceeding
as much about morality as
about the law. The case is US
v. Davis, 14-cr-212
(Sullivan).
