A controversial Brooklyn judge is secretly considering cutting a deal that would give a gangbanger a slap-on-the-wrist sentence in an attempted murder case — as long as he says he’s sorry, The Post has learned.
Acting Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Laura Johnson has been weighing sentencing accused gunman Donte Simpson to just five years behind bars for the May 2021 shooting that left the 17-year-old victim paralyzed for life, law enforcement sources said.
That’s as long as Simpson — an alleged member of the violent street gang “Focus On Paper” — writes a letter expressing remorse, according to the sources.
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office said prosecutors are seeking a 15-year sentence in the case, but declined to comment further.
“This is the Montessori School version of the criminal justice system,” one law enforcement source fumed. “Shoot a 17-year-old and write an apology.”

>>the violent street gang “Focus On Paper”
That name surely strikes fear in the hearts of their enemies.
He cant spell, write or show sincere remorse. Complete waste of time.

Here’s the same judge
Hochuls Hoard.
How about no prison time, but sever his spinal cord?
If the fiend can even write. This is sick. A letter is really going to help the victim for the rest of his days.
That haircut is usually seen on men.
Geraldo, Jerry Springer, Dr.Phil and a number of women’s shows have long ago had people who declared “and he didn’t even apologize” and “he said he was sorry so what else does he need to do for her?”
Feelings-—nothing more than feelings. Morris Albert hit song in 1975.
Besides leftists it’s because the courts and the whole system have been compromised by the drug cartels.
So if the perp lies, he gets a shorter sentence. What a lesson.
WOW! Compare this to the thread four up from this one regarding the Miami guy that shot AT two other jet skiers, but didn’t hit anyone. He got convicted of attempted murder and faces a minimum of 20 to life.
In the NY case, the victim was actually hit, and suffered permanent paralysis. A slap on the wrist is all the gang-banger will get.
This is what it has come to.
‘ I’m so sorry I’ll never do it again’ (fingers crossed behind back)
