A serial mugger of seniors got 16 years in prison on Wednesday - and the judge invited a photographer into the courtroom despite the suspect's efforts to shield his face from the public.



The bizarre scene unfolded after Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Richard Carruthers allowed a Daily News photographer to take pictures inside the courtroom, overriding objections from Robert Stewart's lawyer, Bajel Shah.

Shah spent the entire proceeding covering her client's face with a file folder.

Despite her efforts to obscure Stewart, the shutterbug eventually got his photo when the Paterson, N.J., man walked back to the lockup.

"I believe you reap what you sow, in the case of my actions," Stewart said before being sentenced.

Stewart, 52, pleaded guilty to a string of robberies in Manhattan.

WOW!!

I wonder 'ow they manage to ketch-'im.

If i am not mistaken, Manhattan has a population of ~1.5 million. Maybe a population density of 70-80,000/sq mile.

Maybe it's the population density of Jamaica why they can't ketch what's his name....?.

Jamaica has the best police force in this 'emisphere.!!!

I agree with this... I have long advocated that some of these criminals here that grab people's bags and phones or repeat rapists should be tied or displayed in a public place where the people can see and know who they are
