The Judge Wants to Scale the Statue of Liberty too!
Do you remember hearing about the chick that climbed the Statue of Liberty last year? It took NYPD hours to get her down. Well in December she was found guilty of a misdemeanor; and the federal judge sentencing her has an unusual request — he wants to climb it too. U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein, in an order entered Wednesday, said he wanted to visit the statue “to better appreciate the risks or hazards created by defendant’s conduct.”
But that wasn’t all. QUOTE: “Additionally, if it were deemed possible and safe, the Court would like a ladder to be made available so the Court can view, while remaining on the ladder, the surface of the area where the defendant was situated on July 4, 2018,” the order read. The National Park Service said it would comply with the judge’s request, at a future date before or after regular public visiting hours. NYPD and NYFD better be ready!
