In #SDNY came for sentencing of Edwards who threatened judge (11:15) but found labor dispute case, Chinese workers, threads

Real estate developer claims workers' protest "made us call cops," workers called them the Big Boss. 19-cv-5616. Now Edwards

Clint Edwards has a neck tattoo and 3 Marshals. He threatened an AUSA & Judge. Conflict of interest in sentencing? @SDNYLIVE

Judge Oetken's Deputy has called the court reporter back into the robing room. Strange.

Judge Oetkem says sentencing guideline is 41 to 51 months. Defense wants concurrent, says client's outburst not at women

Defense : he's doing 20 years, had no ability to harm Judge or prosecutor.
Judge Oetken: concurrent would mean no punishment

Seems Edwards was angry at getting 20 years for trolling the Internet for kids, "lost it." Now about to lose more.

Edwards tells Judge Oetken he wasn't on the right meds, apologizes.
AUSA: He threw the prosecutor's papers in the air.

AUSA wants consecutive 41-51month sentence because "those who work in this Court should not be retaliated against for work."

For threats to Judge & AUSA, Judge Oetken just sentenced Clint Edwards to 36 months, 12 of them consecutive to his 20 years
