SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 17 – When Dejon Jackson
appeared to plead guilty to
and be sentenced on Violations
of Supervised Release, the
first time Judge Deborah A.
Batts of the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York ordered
that the VOSR specification
against him be corrected.
On December 17, there were
still errors, including the
date of the incident
constituting a VOSR, attempted
possession of a weapon in the
third degree under New York
State Penal Law, Section
110/265.02(1).
Judge Batts admonished
Probation, but agreed to take
Dejon Jackson's guilty plea.
The guideline sentence was
eight to 14 months, and that
is what Assistant US Attorney
Kristy J. Greenberg pushed
for.
Jackson's
lawyers, Marne L. Lenox and
Peggy Cross-Goldenberg,
Federal Defenders' Director of
Training, urged four months,
citing classes he has taken
and completed in the last two
months in the Metropolitan
Correctional
Center.
AUSA Greenberg
responded with a litany of
violations in state custody
including an altered razor.
Judge Batts imposed a sentence
of six months, conditioned on
Jackson having no more
disciplinary issues so that he
can attend his sister's high
school graduation. Call it the
carrot and the stick. It was a
personalized sentencing, as
provided for under Section
3553a. The case is US v.
Jackson, 11-cr-265
(Batts).
