Stephen Sakai, who was convicted of shooting four Chelsea clubgoers, killing one, was sentenced to 90 years to life yesterday. Sakai had claimed he shot the clubgoers in self-defense, but Manhattan Assistant D.A> Joan Illuzzi Orbon told the judge that Sakai (who was already found guilty of two Brooklyn murders and sentenced to 50 years to life) "needs to be in prison for the rest of his life so society can be safe from one more random sicko." One of his victims, Julian Quadros, who is now paralyzed from the shooting outside Opus 22 where Sakai worked and whose brother Gustavo was killed in the shooting, said, "He's a coward ... What he did to my brother - you have to be a coward to not be able to face somebody, to shoot somebody in the back of the head for no reason." Sakai's lawyer said she would appeal the verdict.




See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!
He pulled 90? Don't crimminal court judges round up anymore?
I'm surprised his lawyer didn't make him plead insanity, as he seems like a real kook.
Sakai's lawyer said she would appeal the verdict as she felt there wasn't enough taxpayer money wasted on scumbags.
why was he walking the streets after indicted for the first murders? you don't let murderers walk around till they are found not guilty.
"you don't let murderers walk around till they are found not guilty."
Uh... yeah, you do. Or we do. All the time. You know, there's that whole "presumption of innocence" thing, "innocent until proven guilty," etc.
An indictment doesn't, and cant, bring a sentence.
By the way, I was speaking generally in my previous post, not about this case. Sakai's timeline is kind of confusing, so I might be wrong, but I don't think he ever was free after having been indicted.
Stick him in with the Triad convicts then let him try his "Oh, hurro," accent there. I'd like to see how good his "ninja" skills are.
this happend practically 75 steps from the entrance of my building. I remember comin home and half the street was barricaded. Simple equation from what i read. Add Hip hop night-big egos- biggest ego. Has nothing to do with being a coward and everything to do with hanging with humble people.
from what i read they had a spot on stage for rapping about thug life or helping starving kids in africa. Yea ok, When puffy jr was on stage feeling his (game). The bouncer said time was up. Kind words were followed by sincere apologies, one thing led to another, and another casuiallty of thug asperation realizes (shyt is real yo) or sumthin like that.
If I were one of these poor people murdered I would haunt the crap out of this guy! Stupid ninjas
