Did you read the article? He wasn’t sentenced for the crime he was acquitted of. He was sentenced for a different, more recent, crime.

The problem is the guy has a slam dunk basis to appeal the sentence. Eight years for road rage is excessive.

Yeah but if the Judge was citing it as an aggravating factor in his present sentencing then that’s an error. In fact maybe the Judge was giving the guy an appeal ground.

when a judge cited evidence of his role in it while sentencing him

---

Read it, did you? He cited evidence from another trial, in which he was acquitted, as to how he made his sentence.

>>He wasn’t sentenced for the crime he was acquitted of. He was sentenced for a different, more recent, crime.

“... a judge cited evidence of his role in it while sentencing him...”

It WAS a factor in the sentencing.

The judge said she reviewed evidence from the trial she had presided over and cited proof Asaro had participated in a 1969 murder and had admitted his role and obtained jewelry from the armed robbery of more than $6 million in cash and jewelry from the Lufthansa terminal.

This was in the story, and looks like it might have been used in sentencing, but it's not really clear.
I wondered why the judge would use it if he was found not guilty ? Sentenced by the same judge that presided over the trial in which he was found not guilty ?...beautiful.
