" He apologized to his family to his wife to his son that's -- it's unborn daughter. He thanked. Them for their support. He apologized to fans and thank them for that prayers in this support. And he said and I quote. We will all get through this. And quote. You can violate the law be subject to severe punishment. And not be criminal missed the bars used bad judgment he violated the law that has no flexibility whatsoever. -- one of those issues I have with the mandatory. Criminal laws statutes that have mandatory sentencing. Is that not even the court. Has discretion. Even in the case where there are mitigating circumstances to impose a less severe penalty. And as a result since the facts in this case were never in dispute. This case unfortunately. Comes to in my judgment day tragic ending and the other thing that. Mr. Morris asked me to say which I said in the courtroom is that if anything good. Comes out of this terrible case and perhaps other athletes. Perhaps other young people. Will think twice. Before they take possession of an unlawful weapon in New York even if they are not. Going to carry it for the purposes of committing a crime as was the case. With this the bars."
