Man Who Robbed ‘Bling Bishop’ Lamor Whitehead During Live-Streamed Sermon Claims Preacher’s Own Crimes Is Reason For Lighter Sentence

Two wrongs don’t make a right, or maybe they do.

As previously reported, In July 2022, Lamor “Bling Bishop” Whitehead was robbed of reportedly $1 million in jewelry by three men — Say-Quan Pollack, Juwan Anderson, and now deceased Shamar Leggette — while live-streaming a sermon. Pollack and Anderson are set to be sentenced this month for their involvement in the crazy ordeal. However, Pollack’s attorney has requested leniency for his client, arguing that Lamor Whitehead is a “career con man and liar” with his own troubled history to worry about.

Attorney Gary Villanueva wrote in a six-page letter to Judge William Kuntz

“The arrest, trial and conviction of Bishop Lamor Whitehead, one of the victims here, bears mention and consideration by the Court.”

The letter continued,

“Although the Bishop’s crimes and conviction do not exonerate Say-Quan nevertheless they are factors which the Court may consider in fashioning a reasonable sentence that is not greater than necessary to achieve valid penological goals.”

In June, Lamor Whitehead was sentenced to 9 years in prison for wire fraud, attempted wire fraud, attempted extortion, and making false statements to federal authorities. One of Lamor Whitehead’s victims, an elderly church member, was scammed out of her $90,000 retirement savings. Whitehead told the woman that he would use the funds to help her buy a home, however, he actually used the money to support his lavish lifestyle.

Pollack’s attorney also mentioned his upbringing in the letter, claiming his younger years were riddled with “instability, insecurity, parental neglect and diminished educational opportunities.”
