Federal prosecutors told a judge Thursday they have offered a plea deal to two Brooklyn attorneys charged with firebombing an empty police vehicle last year amid demonstrations in New York City following the death of George Floyd.
U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan set a 90-day deadline for Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman to accept the government’s offer or proceed to trial on charges including arson conspiracy.
The attorneys face at least 45 years in federal prison if convicted as charged.
