SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 22 – Christopher Savinon was charged with selling crack, heroin, fentanyl and other narcotics on the Bronx' Belmont Avenue between East Tremont Avenue and East 179th Street.
On September 22 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman held a sentencing proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Judge Liman or his deputy asked if Savinon has been vaccinated against COVID-19. No, was the answer.
The Federal Defender said her office has a list of those not vaccinated, presumably waiting.
The guideline sentence was 70 to 87 months.
With the conditions of confinement amid COVID cited, Judge Liman imposed a sentence of 56 months, to be followed by fully five years of Supervised Release.
The case is US v. Savinon, 21-cr-233 (Liman)
