Judge rips alleged teen gunman fueled by ‘hatred’ in shooting of 7-year-old NYC girl: ‘Shocks the conscience’

A Manhattan judge on Wednesday ripped into one of two reputed teen gangbangers accused of shooting a 7-year-old girl on Harlem street — saying the brazen act “shocks the conscience of anyone living in New York.”

True Womack, 17, was denied bail by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Stephen Antignani on attempted murder and other charges for the Monday afternoon shooting that wounded little Fatou Keita.

“The lack of consideration for everyone who lives in the city is beyond my comprehension, beyond it,” Antignani fumed during the hearing in juvenile court, berating the pouty teen, who sat hunched back in his chair during the five-minute lecture.

The judge wouldn’t allow photographers to snap pictures of Womack inside the courtroom because he felt that the teen “would be proud” to see his face on the news, and also to spare his family, who sat quietly in the courtroom gallery.
