CENTRE STREET,
Oct 16 – A man who was part of
a Federal class action against
solitary confinement on Rikers
Island was brought into NYS
Supreme Criminal Court last
week, before Justice Ann
Scherzer. Inner City Press was
there, fresh in from SDNY
where the class action was
settled.
This
time the defendant was up for
a resentencing hearing, having
challenged his previous
sentencing as a predicate
felon successfully, at least
technically.
Previously he took his case to
trial, was convicted and
sentenced to seven years.
Justice Scherzer presaged that
it may not go better this
time, even as he challenges
his predicate felon status.

Press is on the case(s) -
