Felix Says He Was Assaulted By Prison Guard As SDNY Gives Concurrent Misdemeanor

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 4 – Enrique Felix was serving a 129 month prison sentence when he says he was assaulted by a Bureau of Prisons Corrections Officer.

The US Attorney Office, on the other hand, says that Felix "punched a correctional officer in the face, threw liquid on him and threatened to kill him" - then they offered a deal to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault.  

   On August 4 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Edgardo Ramos held a sentencing. Inner City Press covered it.    Assistant US Attorney Ryan B. Finkel, whose sentencing memo was full of redactions, argued for 12 months, the maximum sentence for a misdemeanor.

Felix read to Judge Ramos a statement about his side of the story.

 Judge Ramos was moved - he made his sentence, technically 12 months, concurrent such that it ends in December. He recounted Felix' childhood, and some new found hope.

The case is US v. Felix, 19-cr-260 (Ramos).
