A teenager who keeps getting sprung by judges despite five open weapons-possession cases may finally see the inside of a state prison — he’s facing two years for felony gun possession at a sentencing scheduled for Monday in Brooklyn.

A reputed member of the Cripps’ “Folk Nation” gang, Wilson, 19, had four open gun cases in Queens and Brooklyn when he was busted on his fifth gun possession case Sunday — and quickly sprung by a Brooklyn judge thanks to last year’s bail reform rules.Out on a total $26,500 bail, Wilson — who has a perfect court attendance record despite his busy docket — must turn himself in Monday.
He wouldn’t speak to a Post reporter at his Jamaica, Queens home Saturday, but his mother, Stephanie, insisted he is a good kid and no gang member.
“Somebody is just dirtying him up,” she claimed.
“This is the first time I’m hearing about this gang, and that is crazy,” the mother of eight said of reading The Post’s story on her son.
“I’m not a mom that has a child as a wild animal, to do all kind of crazy stuff,” she said.
“I raised my children to take responsibility,” she insisted.
“I’m one of those moms who, if my children are going to do wrong, they are going to be accountable for what they do,” she added.
“They know there are consequences if they do something wrong.”

“Wilson — who has a perfect court attendance record despite his busy docket”
...at least he gets a gold star for attendance!
I wonder if his mother is in a state of denial?
Nothing to see here.
None of the gun charges are legit. The kid has a second amendment. They can’t arrest him on some real crime?
19 years old. Headline should read man, not teen.
His mother probably depends on him to supplement her income.
Yeah, she probably doesn’t want to lose that cash cow.
Is just possession of a gun now illegal?
I don’t see where the young man committed a crime. ???
>>None of the gun charges are legit. The kid has a second amendment. They can’t arrest him on some real crime?
Not sure if you are kidding or not (and I actually don’t know exactly why this guy was arrested 5 times for), but I actually think if Republicans pushed really, really hard on non-negotiable, maximum sentences for crimes committed with guns it would be a good thing - and call the dem’s bluff. Nothing will get then to back off the march to abolishing the 2nd amendment than locking up their base for 30-50 years - with no parole.
Conservatives should be all about protecting 2nd amendment rights for law abiding citizens - we all know who is committing most of the crime in this country, and doing most of the killings - lets lock those people up for long, long jail terms and then see if we still have a ‘gun problem’.
Looks like the Crips own more New York judges than the Mafia does.
The problem is that they plan to let felons vote too. Since their unions control the prisons, every additional conviction
locks down another democrat vote.
