SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 4 – Walter Garcia is 71
and in prison; he wants a
reduction in sentencing.
On November 4 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Judge Jed S. Rakoff held an
oral argument. Inner City
Press covered it.
The AUSA pointed
about the defendant's crime,
kidnapping, was committed when
he was 61 years old, so the
mitigating effect of age could
not be relied on here.
It was
noted he's obese.
Judge
Rakoff listened then thanks
the parties for their
advocacy.
He noted he has a
civil jury trial (MiMidx'
Parker Petit and Bill Taylor)
that runs to the end of
November and said he'll rule
soon after that.
The case is USA
v. Garcia, 11-cr-989
(Rakoff)
