Man who threatened to kill Syed gets 30 days

The Superior Court also sentenced Tenorio for criminal mischief in a separate 2008 case.

Judge Kenneth L. Govendo originally sentenced Tenorio to five years’ imprisonment for two counts of criminal mischief, but all suspended except for 30 days with credit for the two days the defendant already served.

No details were available regarding the criminal mischief case.

For assault and disturbing the peace, Tenorio was sentenced to  six months, all suspended except for 30 days that will be served concurrent with the sentence in the 2008 case.

Tenorio will report to the Department of Corrections on Sept. 1, 2001, and will be released on Oct. 1, 2011.

He will be placed on five years probation upon release and he will attend and complete anger management counseling and any other counseling recommended by the treatment provider of the Adult Probation Office.

Tenorio will pay $8,000 as restitution, jointly and severally liable with his co-defendants, the court said.

Tenorio will not have any contact with his victims, and will write a letter of apology to Syed and Ellis Miller.

He will pay a $200 fine, courts costs, and a probation fee.

Tenorio will cooperate in the investigation and prosecution of this case if called to do so, the court said.

Last April, the Attorney General’s Office charged Tenorio with one count each of assault and battery and disturbing the peace.

The prosecution said Tenorio threatened to kill United Workers Movement NMI president Syed, who advocates improved immigration status for long-term guest workers.

Federal and local authorities traced the call to Tenorio.

His aunt and Tenorio himself later called Syed to apologize and seek forgiveness.

The aunt told Syed that her nephew was  “influenced” by another person who did not like guest workers asking for improved immigration status.
