SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 3 รข€“ A man convicted in 2018 after firing a gun in front of 300 Cherry Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side was up for a Violation of Supervised Release sentencing on April 3 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Valerie E. Caproni. Inner City Press was there. 

  Defense counsel had written in that his client pled guilty in state court to burglary in the third degree, with a promised sentence of two to four years in prison set for May 6.   

Judge Caproni asked why he continued to violate the law, He responded that prisons are violent, that is in alone in that his mother has dementia, that the drug programs he has been sent to are "full of crackheads" -

  Exactly, Judge Caproni said. She imposed sentencing of 20 month, recommending that it be consecutive to states two to four years. She said there will be no more federal supervised release to follow.

The case is, or was, USA v. Bueno, 18-cr-389 (Caproni)
