    A prosecutor told a state Supreme Court judge in Manhattan Friday he’d move to lessen the first-degree assault and gang assault charges because the victim’s injuries were healing. Those charges require permanent disfigurement.

    Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass says the bikers will instead likely face attempted assault and attempted gang assault charges. That means the men could face up to 15 years in prison instead of 25.

    Eleven men were indicted in the Sept. 29 attack on a Manhattan highway. The driver was beaten and received stiches. He wasn’t charged.

    Prosecutors also offered plea deals Friday. None of the offers were immediately accepted.

    It’s not what you do, it’s who you know.

    I also think these guys are getting off with a lot less than they should, but those are the breaks (laws)

    This is the problem with this site. People just want to write even if they know nothing. We have the obligatory “what about SMR?”. We have those who know nothing about the law who say it is who you know etc. Look at Assault in the First Degree. It calls for serious physical injury or permanent disfigurement. Both are defined in the law and seemingly do not fit the charges. So spout all you want. Then go off to law school, become a prosecutor and see what happens.
    Before Facts 1 tells everyone what serious physical injury is…he is incorrect.
