一名前官员和著名的帮派成员将因杀死一名城市消防员而在公路狂暴中杀死25年。
Joseph Desmond was sentenced in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Friday for the Dec. 9, 2018, bludgeoning death offdny firefighrer faizal cotoon the Belt Parkway. He was found guilty of the crime in January.
杀手没有re悔，周五宣布他的纯真，数十名消防员挤进了法庭，并为文森特·德尔·朱迪斯法官（Vincent Del Giudice）法官宣布了最高刑期。
Desmond clobbered Coto, fracturing his skull, after a minor car accident on the Belt Parkway. After that, he calmly walked back to his Infiniti and drove off, prosecutors said. Coto’s battered body was found beside his 2008 Ford Mustang on the shoulder of the highway near Exit 4 in Bath Beach.
The entire encounter lasted 15 seconds, prosecutors said.
Coto was rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where he died.
Desmond was nabbed at a motel in South Amboy, N.J., a day after the slaying.
当他杀死科托时，他因在皇后区的反同性恋袭击而被判四年监禁后被假释。
In that case, Desmond stormed up to his 23-year-old victim, called him a “f—–t,” and blasted him in the chest with the stun gun, court papers reveal.
拉丁国王团伙的著名成员戴斯蒙德（Desmond）说：“我完全反对审判”，当时有机会在周五阅读他的判决前讲话。
He claimed cops framed him and used “tampered evidence” in the case.
But Del Giudice shot down the killer’s argument, saying he’d presided over the entire trial and he knew Desmond was guilty beyond any doubt.
“You deprived people of this city a person who’s dedicated to responding to their need for help and assistance in times of crisis,” Del Giudice said. “It’s this court’s earnest hope and desire that you never, ever be released from prison.”
“他的目标是帮助人们最需要的人。先生，您还通过行为表明了您的影响。”法官说。“您对社会的贡献不仅是负面的，而且是毁灭性的。”
Coto was a three year FDNY veteran, assigned to Engine 245 / Ladder 161 in Brooklyn.
“ Faizal Coto今天应该和他的家人一起活着。他应该担任消防员的社区。”助理地方检察官安迪·帕拉西奥（Andy Palacio）说。
戴斯蒙德（Desmond）的生日是星期五，这一事实并没有在科托（Coto）的兄弟身上丢失。
“Today you turn 33 years old, the same age my brother was when you took his life,” said Ishmael Coto, calling it “poetic justice.”
The devastated sibling said the crime not only robbed him of a brother and his parents’ of a son — but stole a dedicated public servant from New Yorkers.
“There were more lives for him to save, and you took it away,” an emotional Ishmael Coto said as family members wept in the courtroom.
