A 17-year sentence for a New York City man who sought to aid ISIS by trying to kill an FBI agent is “shockingly low,' a federal appeals court said Friday as it ordered a judge to re-sentence him.
The 2nd Circuit panel, in a decision written by Judge Jose A. Cabranes, said judges have broad but not unlimited discretion at sentencing.
It said the “clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence leaves us with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed — a mistake that resulted in a shockingly low sentence that, if upheld, would damage the administration of justice in our country.” “Mumuni’s violent attack against Agent Coughlin was indisputably a premeditated, willful, and deliberate attempt to murder a federal officer in the name of ISIS. In short, it was a pre‐authorized ISIS terrorist attack on American soil,” the appeals court said.
