SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 1 –
Sean
Gambrell is
Defendant 13
in a
multi-defendant
gang case; he
has been in
detention for
43 months.
On March 1,
2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
George B.
Daniels held
his
sentencing.
Inner City
Press was
there, the
only media in
the courtroom,
along with two
of Gambrell's
aunts.
Gambrell spoke
for himself,
how his mother
moved him to
Flint,
Michigan at
age 8, through
a series of
shelters.
When
he returned to
New York City,
his
grandfather
was diagnosed
with cancer.
Soon Gambrell
was in a
gang.
His
lawyer asked
for time
served.
But
Judge Daniels
said the
crimes were
series, and
imposed a
sentence of 60
months - which
is to say, 17
more
months.
The
case is US v.
Goodman, et
al., 20-cr-57
(Daniels)
