May 24, 20223 yr Judge Sentences Trump voter to 8 years for illegal possession of a fire arm. Hamlin white supremacist prosecutors say wanted to 'shoot and kill' Black people to be sentenced https://news.yahoo.com/hamlin-white-supremacist-prosecutors-wanted-082351527.html Federal prosecutors are asking for the maximum sentence for a Hamlin man with a history of racist crimes who has admitted to illegally having firearms. Stephen Pattison is scheduled to be sentenced Monday, May 23, by U.S. District Judge David Larimer, and federal prosecutors have asked for the maximum sentence of 10 years. In court papers, federal prosecutors portray Pattison as "a convicted violent felon and white supremacist who illegally possessed two firearms and ammunition after stating his intention to shoot and kill (Black Lives Matter) protesters and African-Americans at a 'genocidal rate.' " Pattison's sentencing will come just over a week after the mass fatal shooting of 10 Black people in a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, a crime in which the accused touted white supremacist beliefs and made clear in online proclamations that he was specifically targeting Black people. Federal prosecutors filed papers seeking the maximum sentence for Pattison months before the Buffalo killings. It's likely that Pattison's defense lawyer, Assistant Federal Public Defender Steven Slawinski, will maintain that the two men — Pattison and the suspected Buffalo killer — are very different, as are the criminal cases. Slawinski has argued in court papers that there is no evidence that Pattison intended to use the guns for violence, but instead feared that he and others could be endangered by protesters with Black Lives Matter, or BLM. Stephen Pattison and banner of white hate group Federal prosecutors are asking for the maximum sentence for a Hamlin man with a history of racist crimes who has admitted to illegally having firearms.

Slawinski has argued in court papers that there is no evidence that Pattison intended to use the guns for violence, but instead feared that he and others could be endangered by protesters with Black Lives Matter, or BLM. Enraged by the protests in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, a Black man asphyxiated by a police officer in Minneapolis, Pattison made numerous social media postings with threats against Black Lives Matter and Antifa, the latter which began as an anti-fascist movement but has no centralized organization. "In the months preceding his acquisition of the firearms and ammunition, the defendant expressed his rage about racial minorities and BLM/ANTIFA (and) stated that he was ready for a Racial Holy War," prosecutor Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Harvey wrote in court papers. A convicted felon, Pattison could not own guns. He was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in October 2020 on an outstanding warrant from Missouri, where he absconded from parole after conviction of a domestic violence crime. In that 2016 crime in Missouri, Pattison "struck his girlfriend in the legs, grabbed her by the neck with both arms and choked her so hard she was unable to breathe, punched her in the back of the head, threatened to drown and smother her to death, and threatened to have his cousin 'shoot [her] in the face,' " court records say. After his arrest as a parole absconder, deputies with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office searched Pattison's Hamlin residence and found a shotgun, rifle, and ammunition. According to federal prosecutors, Pattison's racist animus has also been evident in other misdemeanor crimes. In 2009, he was convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime in Macedon in which he "called the victim a "n***; and broke the victim’s patio furniture and threw it at the victim’s residence." In East Rochester in 2013 he and another individual walked down a street yelling "white supremacy" and he ripped down a woman's Mexican flag from her porch, pushed her face and called her an ethic slur. In 2018 in Tonawanda, Erie County he yelled racist epithets in a pub, was asked to leave, shattered the mirror of a truck in the parking lot, and began waving a hunting knife at an individual, shouting, "I will kill everyone in this house and I will kill myself before going back to prison.” With the firearms crime, prosecutors say, Pattison made telephone calls from the jail in which he tried to get others to say the guns were theirs. Donald O'Shier, a local man, has pleaded guilty to giving Pattison the shotgun and ammunition while knowing Pattison was a felon. O'Shier knew that Pattison also said he planned to shoot BLM or Antifa members "if they came to his neighborhood," according to the plea of O'Shier, who has yet to be sentenced. Under federal sentencing guidelines, which are advisory for judges, Pattison's sentence would be between 46 to 57 months. With the plea, prosecutors reserved the right to ask for a more punitive sentence, up to the maximum of 10 years. "Such a sentence would promote respect for the law and deter the defendant, and others in this District and elsewhere in the United States, from illegally possessing firearms and ammunition, and threatening racial violence," Assistant U.S. Attorney Harvey wrote in court papers. Assistant Federal Public Defender Slawinski has countered that Pattison's words may be reprehensible, but he did not show signs of using the guns for violence. "In spite of the language in his messages, the government concedes that there is no evidence that Pattison committed any violent act here," Slawinski wrote.

June 2, 20223 yr On 7/19/2021 at 11:08 PM, Dave Moss said: Lol. btw, Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti got sentenced to 2.5 years in jail for extortion. Remember when he was talking about running for President (on twitter)??? Good times… 2024 Quote Michael Avenatti sentenced to 4 years for stealing nearly $300K from Stormy Daniels New York (CNN)Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing nearly $300,000 from his former client, adult film actress Stormy Daniels. District Judge Jesse Furman said Avenatti's conduct was "so brazen and egregious" adding, he "took advantage of a vulnerable victim given her unorthodox career and somewhat unorthodox beliefs." Avenatti was convicted in February of one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He faced as much as 20 years on the wire fraud charge and a mandatory two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft. Avenatti is currently serving a 30-month prison sentence for attempting to extort over $20 million from Nike by threatening to go public with damaging information unless they paid him. He goes on trial next month in California on charges alleging that he embezzled $10 million in settlement funds from at least five clients. He has also been charged with tax fraud and bankruptcy fraud and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Part of Thursday's sentence will be served alongside the Nike sentence, but Furman said Avenatti will have to serve an additional two and a half years after he completes the Nike sentence. Avenatti was also ordered to pay $148,750 to Daniels and $297,900 to the US. Furman told Avenatti: "I hope you put your formidable talents to better use." Avenatti, wearing a beige prison outfit, his ankles shackled, became emotional when he addressed the judge. "I have destroyed my career, my relationships and my reputation and have done collateral damage to my family and my life," he said while fighting back tears. Avenatti argued that for most of his career he had fought for the underdog. "There is no doubt I made a series of mistakes and exercised poor judgment," Avenatti said. Furman said it is a "tragic, sad ... sorry case" noting that Avenatti "is quite smart and has formidable legal skills. What changed? I don't know the answer to that question." He said at some point Avenatti's "healthy ambition" turned into "blind ambition." The judge said Avenatti's apology letter to Daniels was "too little, too late." Downfall of prominent attorney The legal turmoil is a dramatic turn for Avenatti, who rose to fame representing Daniels as she went public with allegations that she received a $130,000 payment just before the 2016 presidential election to silence her allegations of an affair with then-candidate Donald Trump. Trump has denied the affair. On the heels of the publicity over the hush-money scandal, Avenatti helped Daniels ink a $800,000 book deal. Prosecutors said Avenatti stole nearly $300,000 of the advance by fabricating a letter purportedly from Daniels redirecting payments from the book publisher to an account under Avenatti's control. At trial, Avenatti represented himself and fired his court-appointed attorneys mid-trial. Prosecutors called 10 witnesses including Daniels, who testified that Avenatti lied to her and betrayed her. Avenatti attacked Daniels' credibility during cross-examination by questioning her about her belief in the paranormal and he suggested that he was entitled to take a portion of her book advance for work he had done even though it was not in their written contract. Avenatti did not testify or call any witnesses in his defense. Last month, Avenatti wrote an apology letter to Daniels, which he provided to the judge, in which he says, "It is obvious that I failed you in many respects and that I disappointed you and let you down in multiple ways." He added, "I wish that we could turn back the clock so that the mistakes I made would never be repeated. I am truly sorry." Clark Brewster, an attorney for Daniels, said after the sentencing, "Mistakes and misjudgment, this is far from that. This was a deceitful scheme of lies and defaming her much different than a mistake. It wasn't a mistake. It was calculated dishonesty." He said Daniels is "happy that he was held accountable." "When we spoke the last couple of days although she's angry about what she did she feels sorry for his plight and his family and I do too. I think she'll be happy with the resolution. Whatever Judge Furman would have done would have been acceptable to Stormy. She's a giving, loving person and forgiving as well," Brewster said. Robert Baum, Avenatti's attorney, said Avenatti is "distraught" about his inability to practice law. He said when Avenatti completes the total five-year sentence, including the sentence from Nike and the Daniels case, he hopes "he will be able to have a significant impact on the community." Avenatti hugged Baum in court, waved to a row of supporters and said, "Thank you" before the US Marshals led him out of the courtroom. Avenatti was transferred from FCI Terminal Island in California, where he is serving the Nike sentence, to the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York for Thursday's sentencing. He will be transported back to California for his trial next month.
