Convicted of assault in the first and second degrees, gang assault in the first degree, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, Ariel Enriquez was sentenced to a ten-year prison term by the New York County Supreme Court.
Although he challenged the sufficiency of the evidence, the Appellate Division, First Department, thought the record supported that Enriquez, and his cohorts, were engaged in a "joint activity"--particularly since a "variety of weapons" had been used to attack the victim, who happened to have been a rival gang member.
What the heck do we care?
