Brooklyn judge postpones sentencing for man with action-packed crime path
A Queens man who went on a crime spree of carjacking, ramming and shooting in Crown Heights, had his sentencing postponed on Wednesday so that the judge could give his victims a chance to testify.
Clinton Lawson stood calm in an orange prison jumpsuit at Brooklyn Supreme Court when he received the news he wouldn’t be sentenced for his acts until the end of August.
Assistant District Attorney Kori Medow told Judge ShawnDya Simpson that multiple victims intended to testify at Lawson’s sentencing but could not make it to court.
In a 29-count indictment, Lawson was charged on Sept. 22, 2014 for first-degree robbery, assault, attempted murder and other charges, according to DA statement.
