SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 11 – Daniel Quirk,
admitted defrauder of the
elderly, was up for sentencing
on August 11. U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Sidney H. Stein held the
proceeding. Inner City Press
live tweeted it.
Request is for
"time served." Judge Stein
puts the parties on notice, he
goes into the proceeding not
intending that. Defense
lawyer: If you are going to
impose jail time, so be it -
but I would ask that it be a
year and a day.
Quirk
himself, not in custody, with
a motion sensitive camera: I
am embarrassed. All I can do
it try to pay my debt to
society. This has brought me
closer to God.
Judge Stein
asked, as he often does: Why
did you do this,
sir?
Quirk: I lost a
restaurant I'd been running. I
got greedy, out of
embarrassment.
Judge Stein
concluded, OK, I was going to
do more, but I am going to
adopt the defense's
recommendation of a year and
day - which, Mr. Quirk, is
less than a year.
The case is US v.
Quirk, 17-cr-243 (Stein)
