SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 19 – Pedro Aquino
was finishing up a sentence
for Hobbs Act Robbery when he
absconded from the Bronx
Residential Re-Entry Center.
On June 19 he was
up for sentencing before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.
Inner City Press covered
it.
The US
said, and Judge Engelmayer
gave weigh to, that Aquino
when cornered "ripped an air
conditioner unit out of a
window and attempted to flee
by means of the fire escape."
Judge Engelmayer
said that others who might try
to flee near the end of these
sentences need to be deterred.
He imposed a sentence of seven
months.
(During
technical difficulties, Judge
Engelmayer said he has not
been to his courtroom, but has
been told that the jury room
now has plexiglass. He has
been to his Chambers. Inner
City Press has in the past
covered, and will in the
future cover, that courtroom,
and court transparency
generally).
This case is US
v. Aquino, 19-cr-908
(Engelmayer).
