SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 6 – Ivan Canales is 41
years old. He has spend 18
years in prison, and now faces
another
year.
On October 6 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
Second Circuit Judge Richard
J. Sullivan held a Violations
of Supervised Release
sentencing proceeding. Inner
City Press covered it.
Canales said that when he was
accused of being out of range
with his GPS, he was in fact
at home.
He said, I am not
a robot, I am a human being
and should not be judged on a
folder. Judge
Sullivan replied that there is
video, of him assaulting his
girlfriend.
While Canales'
lawyer said that clearly
supervised release wasn't
working, Judge Sullivan said
he didn't want to reward lack
of compliance.
He
sentenced Canales to a year
and a day to allow for "good
time" credit, to be followed
by three years of supervised
release.
He did not order
remand, but self-surrender on
November 3.
The case is
US v. Canales, 11-cr-676
(Sullivan)
