SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 18 – Rafael Antonio Garavito-Garcia has applied for compassionate release from prison. He is 76 years old.

  On May 18, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff held an oral argument. Inner City Press covered it. 

On age being an issue, Judge Rakoff pointed out that he is 77 years old, and still working strong.

But he listened to the other arguments and projected that unlike the Bureau of Prisons he will timely rule, by the end of June.

The case is Garavito-Garcia v. USA, 21-cv-1862 (Rakoff)
