a/k/a Tekashi 6ix9ine was
sentenced to 24 months of
total imprisonment on December

Court Judge Paul A.
Engelmayer.
During the
proceeding a victim of a Nine

her injuries. Her letter is on
Patreon here. A man who said
he was Hernandez' biological

Judge Engelmayer told him he
was too late.

Hernandez had prepared a
letter to read, but spoke
impromtu first, including
offering to pay for the
shooting victim's medical
treatment. He described
visiting sick children, and
said he wanted to be an
example to kids that they can
do anything.
Judge Engelmayer
said that the 13 months served
to date would not be enough.
He rans through a litany of
Nine Trey's crimes and
emphasized that by the time
Hernandez joined the gang he
was already a national rap
star. He noted the contract he
has signed while incarcerated.

Jones, 18-cr-834
