SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 14 – Jeanette Ramos stole $250,000 from Local 223's pension fund. She pled guilty and faced 18 to 24 months in prison.
On March 14, 2023 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan held her sentencing. Inner City Press went and covered it.
An official from the union spoke, about the harm caused by her theft.
When Ramos spoke for herself, she turned about and apologized to him, and greeted her two daughters in the gallery, tell them she loved them, "whatever happens."
After taking a short break in the robing room, Judge Cronan emerged to impose a sentence of time served (the daughters nodded), with community service and restitution (the union man nodded).
The case is US v. Ramos, 21-cr-756 (Cronan)
