Two New York lawyers who were facing the possibility of 10 years in prison for firebombing a police vehicle during riots over the murder of George Floyd have reached a new plea deal that could significantly reduce their time behind bars.
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, the lawyers, appeared at a U.S. courthouse in Brooklyn on June 2 to withdraw earlier guilty pleas to a charge of unlawfully possessing Molotov cocktails. Then, they pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges.
