SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 28 – William Jiminez on
October 13, 2021 pleaded
guilty to have a gun in
connection with a drug
trafficking crime, after
shooting a man in the knee cap
on January 22,
2020.
Then the
US Attorney's Office belatedly
learned the victim had died -
of a drug overdose - and so
let Jiminez withdraw the plea
and enter one to a lesser
crime, felon in possession of
ammunition.
On April 28, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Denise L. Cote held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
In the
first plea, the Sentencing
Guidelines range could have
been as high as 262 to 327
months. Now, the US Attorney's
Office was asking for 84 to
105.
The Federal
Defender, who spoke movingly
about GED, and the defendant
who spoke about a smoothie
job, asked for 48
months.
Judge Cote
said a smoothie shop would be
wondering, but that the crime
was serious. She imposed a 105
month sentence.
The case is US v.
Jiminez, 20-cr-122
(Cote)
