NYC CRIMINAL
COURT, Dec 27 – Sean Fogarty
waited in the front row of
Manhattan Criminal Court
arraignments part on December
27, waiting with his lawyer to
get the deal of his life, a
deal not afforded to most
defendants.
As a
detective with the Yonkers
Police Department, and member
of a task force executing a
warrant at 3410 Barker Avenue
in The Bronx in April 2018,
Fogarty outright lied as to
where he had searched and
found drugs.
The warrant
covered only the first and
second floor, but Fogarty
illegal searched the third
floor, and then lied that the
drugs he found were come from
the floors
below.
Calvin
Powell spent five months in
jail after Fogarty's perjured
grand jury testimony. He had
been on federal Supervised
Release. Now he is suing.
Inner City Press, which was in
the arraignment part for
Fogerty's plead-down to a
misdemeanor with no jail time,
live streamed his exit from
the courtroom in the imprompty
media pen set up in the lobby,
here.
While the
state court at 100 Centre
Street is more run down than
its nearby Federal
counterparts, filming is
allowed inside the building.
Inner City Press will have
more on and like this.
