SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 25 – Mark Anthony Smith
was sentenced to five years in
prison for selling crack in
2010, by then U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York District
Judge Richard J. Sullivan.
On
August 25 Judge Sullivan, now
on the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals, held a proceeding to
consider ending Smith's
supervised release. Inner City
Press covered it.
In a
rare entirely positive
proceeding, all participants
agreed that Smith's
supervision should be ended,
that he deserved it.
Judge Sullivan
agreed, then told Smith to be
sure if and when COVID passes
to come in and see him so he
can shake his hand. But by
then Smith was off the line.
The case is US v.
Smith, 09-cr-1231 (Sullivan)
