The United States Attorney's Office reported that yesterday, Glassport resident Rashee Beasley entered a guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a serious federal offense. Beset by past misjudgments, Beasley, 33, faced the enduring grasp of the law in Senior United States District Judge Nora Barry Fischer's courtroom.
Details shared in the court revealed that Beasley had a loaded and stolen firearm on October 27, 2022, an act rendering the complexity of his life even more tangled. His criminal record, marked by multiple felonies, precluded him from legal firearm possession. Senior Judge Fischer, with the weight of the law and Beasley's actions on her bench, has set the sentencing for the upcoming spring, on May 14, according to a statement from the United States Attorney's Office.
Examining the legal details, it's clear that Beasley could face up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. However, the final sentence will depend on factors such as the seriousness of the offense and Beasley’s criminal history, which will influence the actual punishment.
