COURTHOUSE,
Oct 8 – A 38-year old man was
arrested for firing a gun on
157th Street and Melrose
Avenue in The Bronx, three
months after he got out of
prison on a sentence for drug
dealing.
On October
8 he was up for sentencing
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Valerie E. Caproni.
Inner City Press was there, as
were a dozen of the
defendant's family members and
supporters.
Citing a
fight in the MDC with
sharpened weapons in
September, Judge Caproni had
put the parties on notice she
might vary above the
sentencing
guidelines.
The US
Attorney's Office said to stay
within the guidelines, perhaps
to avoid an appeal.
But Judge
Caproni said shooting a gun on
the street could kill a
bystander. She imposed a ten
year sentence.
