Brooklyn judge deals 15 years to gang member, hopeful for his rehabilitation
A Brooklyn judge supported the rehabilitation of a 21-year-old gang member who was sentenced to 15 years in prison Friday for stealing nearly $2,000 in a series of armed robberies.
Reavon Brown had a laundry list of previous convictions that date back to around age 13, culminating in the string of robberies and attempted robberies of check-cashing stores.
But Judge Eric Vitaliano of Brooklyn’s federal court didn’t lose hope on the Bosses in Business gang member who spent his childhood supporting his family.
