Court Observation

Me and one of my classmates went to court on May 21 and it was a sentencing, He was detained last year and the court was Eastern District of New York, United States District Court. We looked at the court website to see what was available. It was U.S v Shakeem Rankin and he was arrested for possession of child pornography and distribution of it. I observed that he looked pretty sad for what he did. He kept looking towards the back maybe for his family members. He looked pretty regular and a normal guy. You wouldn’t think someone like him would be doing something so horrific. It opened my eyes because it shows anyone can be committing crime no matter how regular and innocent they may look.
