Cohoes man sentenced to 20 years in prison for Father’s Day murder
ALBANY – A 20-year-old Cohoes man will spend the next 20 years in state prison for shooting to death another man on Father’s Day.
In December, 2017, Richard Duckett pleaded guilty to shooting Terrance Roberts, 46, of Albany, once in the side and once in the head.
Prior to the June 18, 2017, shooting, there was an altercation between Roberts and Duckett’s co-defendants Jasmine and Brittany Mingo.
The two women helped Duckett flea the scent and previously pleaded guilty to the felony of hindering prosecution. They are slated to get sentenced next month.
Duckett was sentenced by Judge William Carter. Street Crimes Unit Bureau Chief Jessica Blain-Lewis prosecuted.

"I've found that if you give people what they want, they'll buy...they'll use.I really don't care if you're a transit system, a corner drug store or a restaurant.If you're not in tune with what your customer is desiring or wanting, you're not likely to be all that successful." -Carm Basile, CEO Capital District Transportation Authority

Serving the transportation needs of the Capital Region is a big task, and that's just the beginning of the many important functions CDTA fills in our region.
Area of concern: sadly many times The WI-FI is not on on the #905 buses, Specially "Rush Hour" times and it should have it on buslines like THE 522, 531
Cdta you are not even close to giving people what they want. You changed everything to make it easier for CDTA not your riders!
Mayor Sheehan said in her State of the City address to the Hudson-Park neighborhood association last night that 787 has perhaps 30 more years of useful life. Downtown Albany is full of parking garages. This region is very car-dependent. It's time we built a metro. For decades regional population stagnated a little over 800,000, and now it is grown over 1 million. Last year we put in a bid for Amazon headquarters 2. Growth is great, but that proposal was impractical because putting something that large in downtown Albany would work much better if we had a metro. We have RPI and Poly right here, so our metro system could be a laboratory for developing new transit technology. Let's do it. Cost is only an excuse.
BlusPlus needs to be expanded, Montgomery County maybe brought into the fold and if ridership warrants, replace the current 905 route with an LRT in the future. And an intermodal hub in Colonie serving Amtrak, CDTA, intercity buses with a people mover between the Harriman campus, UAlbany and the intermodal center.
We know it's the #firstdayofspring, but we're dreaming of summer 😍

Sadly, one of your best bus drivers were "Suckered Punch!" By an male due to not paying his fare! Very upsetting, the Colonie Police did caught him (This occurred this evening around 6 at Colonie Center stop)
My 5 year old just yelled slinky bus lol when I showed him this picture he loves this bus
Awesome photo and location. 80 years earlier, trolleys would leave from this spot to go to Hudson, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs and Lake George.
