EDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 29 – For almost running over, and then beating, a woman while out on supervised release, Rahshaun Greene was set to be sentenced on September 29 by U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York Judge Ann M. Donnelly.
Inner City Press, now covering EDNY, went to the sentencing. In the fourth floor courtroom, it was the only media.
Judge Donnelly made a point of playing a video of the incident - as, for example, Judge Eric Komitee recently did after he docketed a request to unseal the video by Inner City Press (which is still awaiting a press pass from EDNY District Executive Eugene J. Corcoran, see here).
She called it serious, noting that the victim, who spoke at sentencing, was less than half of Greene's size.
Greene's defense lawyer argued that seizures she said he has been having, and a medication taken, make him prone to outbursts.
The AUSA said keep him locked up, then. Judge Donnelly did, imposing a sentence of a year, with mental health evaluation and drug testing. She told him to think about his life.
