A legendary airport robbery recounted in the movie "Goodfellas" came back to haunt an 82-year-old mobster on Thursday, when a judge cited evidence of his role in it while sentencing him to eight years in prison for an unrelated road rage arson.

So much for being acquitted.
Surely it can’t be constitutional to sentence a man for crimes of which he was acquitted.
Notice that everyone mentioned in connection with this travesty is a member of the contradictory gender.
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.

Remember, this “road rage” involved setting a car on fire. Eight years for a carefully planned arson seems about right.
Is this the guy who bought the Cadillac or the one who bought his wife a mink?
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
