Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kooda B was granted his temporary release request from the Metropolitan Correctional Center as a safety precaution because he has asthma. However, the Judge over his case, Judge Engelmayer, was reportedly not happy to see Kooda B in music videos breaking social distancing guidelines and wearing gang-related apparel following his release.

During his sentencing that took place on Tuesday, December 1st, Judge Engelmayer said

“I must also consider the conditions of your release during the pandemic. I wrote a decision ordering your immediate release from prison. But I saw you had lied to me. You participated in a party, in a packed apartment, there was drugs and alcohol.”

Judge Engelmayer continued,

“But for the video I would have gone in the middle of the guidelines. I can now go above the middle but still stay within. COVID stays my hand. Mr. McKenzie, lean forward and pay attention: you are to serve a sentence of 54 months in prison.”

“After the 54 months, conditions include cooperating in the collection of DNA. From page 28 of the Pre Sentence Report: search condition, to give Probation maximum visibility. You ran with a gang. Probation will have maximum eyes on you.”

The statements from the judge were reported by @innercitypress on Twitter. See more of their live tweets from the hearing below:

Judge Engelmayer was also the judge in Tekashi69’s case. Tekashi69 was granted early release due to the pandemic this past summer.
