The gangbanger who shot two skaters at the Bryant Park ice rink over a Marmot jacket ordered one of his victims in court to “be a man” — and then was slapped with a 25-year prison sentence.
In November 2013, Corey Dunton, 19, demanded that Javier Contreras hand over his $680 coat at gunpoint before shooting him four times, critically injuring him.
A stray bullet struck passer-by Adonis Mera. At the time, Mera was a 14-year-old aspiring basketball player; now he is paraplegic living life in a wheelchair.
“I hope [Contreras] step up and be a man and tell what happened that night because I’m going to sit here and go upstate no matter what,” Dunton spewed in Manhattan Supreme Court, drawing the ire of Justice Juan Merchan.
“Your position today is that the victim in this case should step up and be a man?” Merchan asked.
“[Contreras] has said and done nothing to suggest what he did was wrong,” Merchan bellowed before handing down the decades-long prison sentence.
