Theophilis ‘Mike’ Burroughs, a sometime music teacher at Stuyvesant High School, has been sentenced to 15 years after being caught selling a stash of weapons to people he thought were from Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist group. They turned out to be cops.

At the trial Burroughs, 54, proclaimed himself a Hamas supporter.
