SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 9 – John Grant was
arrested in the Soundview
Houses in The Bronx with
crack, $10,000 cash and a
loaded .45 in his
apartment.
On April 17, 2023
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Sidney H. Stein held his
sentencing proceeding. Inner
City Press went and covered
it.
Grant
spoke for himself, haltingly
and movingly. He said he
wanted to see his two year old
son. Judge Stein said what
he'd read was from the heart
and he would go below
guidelines, to 60 months.
Grant said, This is the worst
day of my
life. Judge
Stein pointed out he had
already served 21 months and
could be eligible for "good
time."
He advised him to
get out, see his son, get a
job.
Jump cut to
August 9, 2024 when the US
Attorney's Office wrote in
opposing Grant's bid for a
reduction - acknowledging he
is statutorily eligible for a
reduction up to 3 months but
citing US v Calk.
The case
is US v. Grant, 21-cr-486
(Stein)
