Man Who Pled Guilty to Trafficking Guns from SC to NY Gets 135 Months After Asked for 60 by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 25 – A Bronx man charged with trafficking firearms into NYC from South Carolina and elsewhere is up for sentencing on September 25 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan. Inner City Press has been following the case.    Defense counsel wrote in asking for the five year mandatory minimum, quoting Focus Forward that his client has been changed and now realizes that "the best things in life don't cost a penny."    He quotes, inserting his own "sic," the letter of a BOP supervisor that his client "assists other inmates in obtaining there [sic] GEDs." On September 25 he was sentenced not to 60 but to 135 months.   The case is USA v. Brown, 1:25-cr-241 (Cronan) *** Your support means a lot.
