Flatbush man gets 24 years for shooting boy’s eye out
A Flatbush man was sentenced to 24 years in prison on Tuesday for a shooting that caused a 13-year-old boy to go blind in one eye.
The shooter’s attorney argued for a shorter sentence and claimed that the boy’s injuries weren’t serious, but the judge didn’t back down.
“Obviously we are arguing that there was no serious physical injury,” defense attorney, Audrey Thomas said in Brooklyn Supreme Court, arguing for a shorter sentence.
