A Yonkers woman's attempt to overturn her conviction and sentence has been dismissed by a federal judge. Virginia Blanco, who represented herself, had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for her involvement in a 2013 bank robbery at a Wells Fargo branch in Yonkers. Blanco alleged that her trial lawyer provided inadequate counsel and that government witnesses had provided false testimony. However, the federal judge ruled that Blanco's claims did not warrant a hearing, leaving her conviction and sentence unchanged.
