N.J. com Two Brooklyn men were sentenced on Tuesday to more than three years
in federal prison for their roles in the beating of Orthodox Jewish men
to convince them to give their wives a divorce at the direction of a
Lakewood rabbi.
For David Hellman, 33, and Simcha Bulmash, 32, one of those husbands
was actually fictitious, a figure concocted by FBI agents who were
investigating allegations of Orthodox Jewish men being beaten until they
agreed to grant their wives a religious divorce, known as a "get."
U.S. District Judge Freda Wolfson sentenced Hellman to 44 months in
prison and Bulmash to 48 months behind bars, said U.S. Attorney Paul
Fishman. Wolfson also required that they be placed on two years of
supervised parole after their release.
On Monday, another member of the beating squad, Moshe Goldstein, 32, also of Brooklyn, was sentenced to four years in prison.
All three men pleaded guilty to traveling in interstate commerce to
commit extortion as part of a federal sting that ultimately nabbed a
dozen people accused of arranging or carrying out the beatings of
recalcitrant husbands.[...]
Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.
ReplyDeleteNo reason to knock them once they're down. The sad facts speak for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't about knocking someone who's already down. This is about a message, one, to all the self-styled vigilante wannabe צדיקים, and two, to the people who did this for "parnassa".
ReplyDeleteJust curious - anyone know about where the sentences fall within the sentencing guidelines. Is there a sentencing memo?
