SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 25 – Hugho Witter
was arrested in connection
with a cocaine deal in July
2019 in Brooklyn.
On June 25
he appeared for sentencing
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Sidney H. Stein.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Judge Stein
asked Witter, Why did you do
it?
Witter explained
that his son - identified in
the docket as Amarae - was
leaving for college, and he
needed money. He apologized
profusely. He is 57 years old.
Judge
Stein said he would grant a
variance, while denying the
departure requested by
Witter's CJA counsel.
He told Witter,
you will be 58 or 59 when you
get out, it's too old to
continue with crime. He
adjourned the proceeding and
then Witter's counsel asked to
make a recommendation about
placement.
He was told to
put it in a letter into the
docket. But the docket, eight
hours after the proceeding,
still has nothing since June
24.
The case is US v.
Oliver, 19-cr-568
(Stein).
