Spiegelman Gets Year & Day For Fleeing Bronx Halfway House in 2012 After Stole Books 1994

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 22 – Daniel Spiegelman absconded from the Bronx Reentry Center half-way house -- on October 4, 2012, more than eight years ago. 

 On November 13 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan held a change of plea proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

Spiegelman said that back in 2012 he had a case of the tremors and left the halfway house to get medical attention. Then he never went back, instead moving to Brooklyn. He had multiple aliases.  

Now he had a Pimintel letter and awaited sentencing, on February 19, 2021. Judge Cronan said he hoped it would be in person.

  It was not. But Inner City Press covered it - and dug into it. While the 1999 SDNY case against Speigelman is not a live link in PACER, there's this: "In the spring of 1994, Daniel Spiegelman shinnied up an abandoned book lift in Columbia University's Butler Library, dismantled a wall, stole books."

 Now after all this time, on Feb 19 Spiegelman was sentenced to a year and a day and then three years of supervised release. A year and a day, with "good time," means less.

The case is US v. Spiegelman, 12-mj-2707 (Cronan)
