Defense attorney Mario Romano called for the original adjournment of Cooper’s sentencing on Nov. 14. Since-refuted accusations of Assistant District Attorney Howard Jackson brokering a deal with the Queens DA’s Office on behalf of an incarcerated witness in the trial, brought the case to Monday.

Romano then requested a hearing with final witness, Stanley Israel after he spoke to him on the phone Monday morning. Israel told Romano, allegedly in tears, that he didn’t actually know Cooper was the shooter, as he said in the trial.

“In the world of fairness, Mr. Cooper got none of it,” Romano told Supreme Court Justice Neil Firetog, who quickly shot the idea down.

“I find that your client is trying to avoid me sentencing him,” Firetog, who will be retiring in the next couple weeks, told Romano. “This is the end of my career. I cannot in good faith adjourn the case to another judge.”

With the parties speaking loudly through microphones so Cooper could hear, the sentencing went on.

“These three men…were, I submit to you, gunned down in cold blood,” Jackson told Firetog as Romano sat with his hand on his face.

Cooper was found guilty of shooting Lacount Simmons, 39, Calvin Clinkscales, 43, and 76-year-old Herbert Brown in the Ingersoll Houses courtyard on Sept. 20, 2015.

Clinkscales and Simmons were shot in the head and died on the scene, while Brown slipped in and out of consciousness in an ambulance until he died at Methodist Hospital.

Cooper was caught seven months later in Fayetteville, North Carolina on April 22, 2016 following an anonymous tip.

While the city sees consistent drops in crime, New York City Housing Authority crime rates compare higher to citywide. However, the Ingersoll Houses have seen a drop in crime as the city invested in anti-crime measures at the complex in recent years, according to a New York Times report.

Still violence continues, as Cooper was on parole during the murders for a 2014 Ingersoll Houses shooting, prosecutors said.

Jackson also mentioned a 2003 weapon possession conviction and a pending Bronx case Cooper has for allegedly assaulting three female corrections officers.

“This defendant is beyond rehabilitation and he is completely deserving of the maximum sentence in this case,” Jackson said.

Judge Firetog showed his agreeance with his near-100-year prison sentence that left the victim relatives laughing and smiling in the court audience.
