SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 13 -- Dashawn Smith was
charged with and pled guilty
to selling crack near a public
school in The Bronx. On March
13, 2020 he appeared for
sentencing along with ten
family members and supporters
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Gregory H. Woods.
He faced a
guideline of 70 to 87
months.
Yet his
Federal Defenders lawyer
Jennifer E. Willis in her
sentencing submission
described her client as having
eschewed crime since 2012,
until something drew him back
in. That is
redacted.
But Willis
described Dashawn Smith with
Aracely Watkins designating
one day as week as "Sunday
Funday" when he would do
special activities with the
girls - a movie, an amusement
park, a restaurant. Perhaps
this is why he has supporters
in the courtroom. And Judge
Woods sentenced him to the
minimum, 6 months. The case is
US v. Smith, 19-cr-11
(Woods).
