SDNY Judge Berman Floats Reduction In Supervision For Brooklyn School Janitor

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 9 – For health care fraud and mail fraud, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Richard M. Berman in 2015 sentenced Akim Murray to 63 months imprisonment and three years of supervised release.
 On July 9 Judge Berman held a proceeding with Akim Murray. Inner City Press covered it. 
  Murray was working as a janitor at a school in Brooklyn when the Coronavirus pandemic hit New York.
He has been unemployed since. Judge Berman asked him if he expects to be re-hired. Murray laughed ruefully: who knows. 
  Judge Berman called the report a positive one.
The Probation Officers called Murray a supervisee who requires less work; she said she has 93 such cases.
Judge Berman floated the idea of terminating supervision earlier, and set the next proceeding for October 8.
The case is US v. Murray, 14-cr-613 (Berman)
