CITY OF NEWBURGH – The U.S. Supreme Court refused Monday to review the cases of four City of Newburgh men who were convicted of plotting to bomb two synagogues in New York City and airplanes at Stewart Air National Guard Base.

Attorneys for James Cromitie, Laguerre Payen, David Williams and Onta Williams had petitioned the court in April to review the 2010 conviction of the men, whose case came to be known as the "Newburgh Four."

A panel of federal appeals judges upheld the convictions in 2013, rejecting defense claims that the men were victims of entrapment because an FBI informant offered the men $250,000 and other inducements to carry out the bombings.

Each of the men is serving a 25-year sentence in federal prison. Their case received worldwide attention in July when HBO aired “Newburgh Sting,” a documentary questioning the government’s case.
