Reality
Lucas'
lawyer said he
had and may
still have a
job as a concierge.
Judge Stein
expressed sympathy,
but said
allowing
gunfire in
crowded
streets is not
possible, that
general
deterrence is
needed.
Lucas'
Federal
Defender said
the media is
not paying
attention to
this case.
Judge
Stein stuck to
what he had
proposed, 366
days, and
hoped Lucas
will keep his
job.
The case is US v.
Lucas, 21-cr-382
(Stein)
