Three victims of a notorious Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)-orchestrated entrapment scheme targeting Muslims have been given compassionate release from prison on the orders of Judge Colleen McMahon of the United States District Court in Manhattan after more than a decade in prison. The three—Onta Williams, Laguerre Payen and David Williams (no relation to Onta)—were convicted in 2010 of participating in what Judge McMahon termed 'an F.B.I.-orchestrated conspiracy.' The forth frame-up victim, James Cromitie, remains in prison.
