SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 24 - In the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
on January 24, a sentencing
proceeding was held by Judge
Sarah L. Cave on a man for
shooting a gun out of a car
window into 179th Street in
The Bronx back on March 21,
2021.
The defendant
Michael Jackson was in
detention, in the orange
prison garb of the Westchester
County Department of
Corrections.
The US
Attorney's Office wanted 108
months or nine years, arguing
that there was an intent to
kill.
Judge
Schofield imposed a sentence
of 60 months or five years.
She said that while Jackson
has spoken of wanting to leave
The Bronx, she could foresee
if there are further threats
to him, he might be tempted to
again take up a gun. You
cannot go that, she said, and
wished him well.
The case is US v.
Jackson, 21-cr-386 (Schofield)
