Cooperator Now On SNAP Gets Year & A Day Starting April 19 Despite Request to Delay

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

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 8 – Domenic Aiello was a government cooperator in a two-person crime spree that he largely led. It began in the Staten Island Mall.

  On April 8, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Paul G. Gardephe held a re-sentencing. Inner City Press covered it.  

The US Attorney's Office again came forward with a 5K letter.

 But Judge Gardephe said that the person Aiello testified against, Bonanno, probably would not have been involved, in bank fraud and stealing packages, but for Aiello.  

Judge Gardephe recounted that Aiello was born in Colombia, then adopted by a New York prosecutor and NYS Supreme Court justice. Now he lives in a homeless shelter, on SNAP, with a Section 8 certificate for the future.  

Aiello would drive around stealing packages, telling ex-cop Bonanno that he was picking up mail at his father's properties.

 Bonanno was prosecuted for conscious avoidance, while Aiello got a cooperator's deal. 

 Judge Gardephe sentenced Aiello to a year and a day. The Federal Defender asked for it to start in six months. Judge Gardephe denied it, saying it had already been delayed 14 months.

 Aiello himself spoke up, saying he has to taken nine pills a day.

 Judge Gardephe said a medical letter should be submitted to him, but that the prison sentence starts April 17.

The case is US v. Aiello, 18-cr-427 (Gardephe)
