EDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 29 – For smuggling over
500 Eastern Box Turtle from
Queens to China and Hong Kong,
and thereby killing some of
them, Chu Sen Guan was set to
be sentenced on September 29
by U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York
Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall.
Inner City
Press, now covering EDNY, went
to the sentencing. When it
walked into the fourth floor
courtroom, there was no one
there except a Court Security
Office. At defense table, Chu
Sen Guan has an interpreter,
and his lawyer.
His
brother, described as less
culpable by the judge, was
sentenced to a year and a day,
which allow the term to be
shorted for "good time."
Chu Sen Guan
faced more time, as the
organizer, who had $10,000
cash in his apartment at the
time of arrest and a leased
BMW with no visible means of
(legitimate) support.
He was
sentenced to a year - the "and
a day" wasn't given, so a
longer sentence than his
brother.
The Probation
officer stepped out into the
hall to use her cell phone to
call for an answer. Inner City
Press, unlike other media on
the EDNY courthouse covering
the US v. Thomas Barrack
trial, has to leave its phone
in the lobby, though it has
for more than a week applied
to the Office of District
Executive Eugene J. Corcoran
to be treated equally, see here.
The
surrender date is January 2,
2023.
