Brooklyn judge gives troubled gun-wielder second chance to prove himself
A Brooklyn Judge gave a Red Hook gun wielder two more months of freedom at his sentencing Tuesday to prove himself after he got caught drinking in public and didn’t report it to the court.
Judge Pamela Chen mulled over Tyson Jeffries’ troubled childhood and struggle with drug addiction as she tried to decide an appropriate sentence for the man who was caught with a pistol in Red Hook and told police to “f—–g shoot” him.
“Mr. Jeffries has had a very troubled life,” defense lawyer, Michael Weil said in Brooklyn federal court. “He has genuine deficits.”
