SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 3 – Mathis Joseph
was up for sentencing on
December on December 3 after
pleading guilty to procuring
and reselling oxycodone, to
feed his own addictions.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jed S. Rakoff held the
sentencing. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Rakoff called the
conduct serious, but said he
would not do with the
guidelines of 46 to 57 months.
He asked if
the defendant would prefer six
months incarceration or a year
of checking into a halfway
house every weekend.
Due to the
danger of contracting COVID in
the MCC, Joseph chose a year
of halfway house, from Friday
night to Monday morning,
followed by two more years of
supervised release.
The case is US v.
Joseph, 16-cr-246 (Rakoff)
