A New York City man on Monday was sentenced to a decade in prison after a jury convicted him of a slew of violent felonies. Most intriguing, though, is that there were no victims because there was no violence.
Dexter Taylor, 53, was arrested in 2022 after police raided his home and found several firearms without the state-required licenses. Taylor, who works as a software engineer, had taken an interest in weapons science and started building "ghost guns"—essentially firearms made by nontraditional manufacturers. Despite Taylor's hobby being victimless, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez brought a 37-count indictment against him.
