The lenient sentencing of former DOE executive Eric Goldstein, who conspired to serve defective chicken to NYC schools, exemplifies the lack of accountability for public servants.
Goldstein helped Somma Foods defraud NYC schools for nearly two years, prioritizing profit over children's safety, despite numerous complaints about the tainted products.
Judge Denny Chin's statement calling Goldstein and co-defendants "fundamentally good" starkly contrasts with their actions of endangering children for personal gain.
Goldstein's attempt to appeal to the judge's empathy by mentioning his family's suffering is troubling given the gravity of his crimes against the city's children.
