Appeals court rules Brooklyn federal judge went easy on ISIS wannabe
[NYPost] An appeals court ruled Friday that a Brooklyn Federal judge went easy on an ISIS-terrorist wannabe by giving him a “shockingly low” 17-year sentence, according to court papers.
Your supervisor would like to make it very clear that he is not in the least bot pleased with you. Or more briefly: You screwed up; fix it.
Judge Margo K. Brodie
...an Obama nominee born in Antigua...
sentenced Fareed Mumuni
...the nice college boy whose name was also reported as Fereed Mumuni and Freed Mumuni, who through co-conspirator Munther Omar Saleh (sentenced to 18 years) was connected to Junaid Hussain, the ISIS recruiter/hacker/English footballer previously known for marrying elderly rocker chick Sally Jones before being droned in Raqqa. Their little cell of six included Nader Saadeh (sentenced to 10 years after being arrested in Jordan), Alaa Saadeh (sentenced to 10 years) — the Saadeh lads being dual citizens with Jordan, whose parents were expelled a decade earlier for credit card fraud — half-Jewish convert Samuel Rahamin Topaz (sentenced to 8 years), and youngster Imran Rabbani (sentenced to 20 months)...
in February 2017 after the failed terrorist was convicted of trying to provide support for ISIS and for stabbing an FBI agent on Staten Island 2015.

Circuit Judge Jose A. Cabranes said Friday that the sentence meted out to Mumuni, 23, was 80% below the advisory guidelines of 85 years — and he sent the ruling back to the lower court for possible resentencing.
Given the sentences received by the other lads from this judge, more resentencings will likely appear on the docket in the near future.
Prosecutors in June 2018 had asked that Mumuni receive 85 years. His lawyer argued that he should get much less time because he was a victim of ISIS recruiters.
That’s certainly one perspective.
Brodie called the idea of 85 years “excessive” at the sentencing and cited Mumuni’s age and lack of criminal record in her decision.

“This clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence leaves us with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed,” Cabranes wrote for the majority in the new ruling. “[It was] a mistake that resulted in a shockingly low sentence that, if upheld, would damage the administration of justice in our country.”

Seriously?

It ain't you, Besoeker - Liz Warren was a U Penn from 1987 to 1992. Coincidence?
