AD1 substantially reduces decades-long sentence imposed following CAL client's convictions for gang assault and weapon possession

Following his convictions for gang assault and weapon possession, NY Supreme Court sentenced Mr. W to an aggregate 40-year prison term. AD1 found the sentences excessive due to CAL’s advocacy and reduced the aggregate sentence to 25 years. CAL attorney Ben Rutkin-Becker represented Mr. W on appeal.
