Robert Williams entered court handcuffed and shackled. He showed no remorse and attempted to justify his actions.
NEW YORK -- Robert Williams, who admitted to shooting two NYPD officers in the Bronx in 2020, learned Friday he will spend at least 23 years in prison. Williams entered court handcuffed and shackled. He showed no remorse and attempted to justify his actions before being sentenced. 'I wasn't trying to kill nobody. They violated me. They swept it under the rug. That's all,' said Williams. Judge Ralph Fabrizio was unsympathetic.
Officer Paul Stroffolino was shot in his chin and neck. Twelve hours later, police said Williams casually walked into the 41st Precinct and fired several rounds. Video shows startled officers ducking for cover.Lieutenant Jose Gautreaux was shot in the arm before the shooter's gun jammed and officers rushed to subdue him. Stroffolino's partner and best friend testified at Friday's sentencing hearing.
