van downtown during the May 2020 protests after the murder of George Floyd and livestreamed his plans for mayhem was sentenced to 26 months in prison Tuesday.
But in rejecting the prosecution’s call for a four-year prison term, Feinerman said he was taking into account Taylor’s rough South Side upbringing that included seeing a brother shot dead by Chicago police. He also noted Taylor had taken advantage of programs while behind bars to set himself on the right path after his release."Please forgive me for the pain I caused the city of Chicago, the firefighters, the police officers.
As Taylor was driving downtown, he posted a video on Facebook Live in which he said, among other things, "I’m on my way to protest for a Rolex." But Assistant U.S. Attorney Albert Berry mocked the idea that Feinerman should simply ignore the "bad stuff" said in the post.
