NEW ORLEANS — Two Boston men who were attacked and robbed in New Orleans’ French Quarter one night during a Unitarian convention asked a judge to show leniency to their attackers. The judge handed out prison sentences, but not the maximum. Both were in town for the Unitarian Universalist Association’s annual assembly last June. “Personally, I won’t feel any better if the folks who mugged me receive a long sentence,” Curran wrote. Assistant District Attorney Carolyn Livanos said Byrne is still in physical therapy because of brain damage from the attack.
