RASHAUN ROBINSON & JAMES LI |
Rashaun Robinson, 29, shot rookie cop James Li, 26, in each leg after the cop grabbed him off a city bus in Flatbush on Feb. 26. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 25 years behind bars.
Afterwards, Li coolly assessed Robinson’s performance.
“He’s dumb,” said the officer, who now walks with a cane. “I’m just glad that he’s getting 25 [years].”
Robinson tried to withdraw his guilty plea before the sentencing — citing ineffective counsel and medication he’s been taking — but Marrus didn’t buy it.
“There is no reason for me to vacate your plea,” Marrus said.
After he was arrested in February, Robinson told detectives he carries a gun because cops think they run everything.
“They are the biggest gang in New York and are always messing with black people and he is sick of it,” Robinson told them, according to court papers.
He also told police he wanted to kill a cop that day, sources have said.
And when Robinson pleaded guilty last month and Marrus asked him whether he understood that he caused serious injury to Li, he responded by saying quietly, “He can still walk.”
