-- A 17-year sentence for a New York City man who sought to aid the Islamic State group by trying to kill an FBI agent is "shockingly low," a federal appeals court said Friday as it ordered a judge to re-sentence him.
Mumuni, a 25-year-old U.S.-born citizen, was sentenced in April 2018 after pleading guilty to charges that he planned to aid the extremist organization and tried to kill the agent who was searching his Staten Island home.The 2nd Circuit panel, in a decision written by Judge Jose A. Cabranes, said judges have broad but not unlimited discretion at sentencing.
The appeals court said the sentencing judge appeared to second-guess whether Mumuni actually intended in June 2015 to kill FBI agent Kevin Coughlin with an 8-inch knife, even though he said he did.
