Three men convicted in a post-9/11 terrorism sting have been ordered freed from prison
by a judge who deemed their lengthy sentences “unduly harsh and unjust” and decried the FBI's role in radicalizing them in a plot to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down National Guard planes.
She said that it was “heinous” of the men to agree to participate in what she called the government's"made for TV movie.” But, the judge added,"the sentence was the product of a fictitious plot to do things that these men had never remotely contemplated, and that were never going to happen.” she imposed on them in 2011 to time served plus 90 days. She said that would allow time for probation officials to prepare and for Payen's lawyer to line up supportive housing for the man, who has a severe mental illness.
The fourth man, James Cromitie, wasn't part of the compassionate release request and is expected to complete his prison sentence in 2030. Officials portrayed Cromitie as the ringleader of a “chilling plot” among “extremely violent men” loyal to a Pakistani terrorist group — though the government later decided not to present any evidence about foreign terrorist organizations at trial. A court complaint described him as a man seething with anti-American and antisemitic sentiment and eager to translate those feelings into bloody action.
