SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 27 – Martin Lewis was
sentenced to life for a murder
for hire. Now he wants out of
FCI Sheridan.
On October 27 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge Jed
S. Rakoff held an oral
argument. Inner City Press
covered it.
Lewis'
counsel said that while there
was no Bureau of Prisons
letter saying how great Lewis
is, that might be due to a new
BOP policy to prohibit such
letter.
No good
deed goes unpunished, Judge
Rakoff remarked.
He noted
that Lewis is 66; he promised
a decision by the end of the
year, presumably after he
finishes his four week
criminal jury trial Inner City
Press is also covering, US v.
Petit.
This case
is US v. Lewis, 00-cr-1118
(Rakoff)
