DUAL STANDARD OF JUSTICE: Brooklyn feds suggest lower sentences for lawyers who tossed Molotov cocktail at cop car in 2020 George Floyd protest

Federal prosecutors steeply lowered the prison time they seek for two lawyers who threw Molotov cocktails at NYPD vehicles during the George Floyd protests in 2020.

Prosecutors in the Brooklyn U.S. attorney’s office noted “case-specific mitigating facts and circumstances” that led them to suggest sentences of just 18 to 24 months in the cases of Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman.

Both suspects offered guilty pleas in October to charges possession of a destructive device. The guilty pleas would dismiss the most serious charges brought against them in a June 2020 federal indictment.

The duo faced up to life in prison under the indictment. Before a court filing Tuesday asking for the lower sentence, the feds planned to seek less than 10-year sentences for each.
