Pooh Shiesty was sentenced to five years and three months in prison Wednesday for his gun conspiracy conviction linked to a confrontation outside a Florida hotel in October 2020
The judge gave Williams credit for the year he’s already spent in custody. With credit for good behavior, Williams could be out in about three and a half more years.in January. At the sentencing hearing that lasted about two hours Wednesday, Cohen argued his client wasn’t the one who fired the weapon in the botched Florida drug deal outside the Landon Hotel in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, on Oct. 9, 2020. He also disputed the prosecution theory that Williams was involved in a robbery.
In a sentencing memo filed Tuesday, Cohen argued for a lower sentence citing his client’s young age and “rough” childhood. Williams also witnessed his mother being physically abused by her long-term boyfriend, lost multiple friends to gun violence and was shot twice himself as a teenager: once in a drive-by shooting when he was 14, and again when he was shot in the arm while attending a local police and community basketball game at the age of 17.
