SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 13 – When Shoshana Marie
McGill came to be sentenced on
June 13 after pleading guilty
to money laundering
conspiracy, her lawyer like
Probation argued for no jail
time. Assistant US Attorney
Sarah Lai urged a sentence
within the Guidelines: 37 to
46 months in prison.
U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Victor Marrero
rejected
McGill's and
her lawyer's
argument that
she played
only a minor
role in the
conspiracy,
which involved
buying
people's
identities
and stealing
their money.
But he
gave weight
to the face
that McGill's
co-conspirator
was the
father of her
three
children,
Jason Mickel
Elcock, who he said
is likely to
be deported
after serving
jail time.
There were
two dozen
family members
and supporters
in the
gallery. AUSA Lai
tried to argue
that this
showed that
they could
take care of
McGill's three
children
while she did
jail time.
McGill's
lawyer called
this disingenuous,
saying We
don't know who
these people
are, they have
jobs, they
have their own
kids.
Judge
Marrero after
some lead-up
said, Five
years probation. There were
signs of relief in
the gallery. Then he
added, 90 days
in a re-entry
center (half
way house),
to be served
on weekends.
Some of the relief seemed
to disappear.
Then Judge
Marrero
added, Six
month home
confinement.
No one, it
seemed, was
happy. The
case is USA
v. Elcock,
et al., 18-cr-726
(Marrero).
