SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 18 –
Cesar Abreu was charged with
illegally re-entering the
United States after being
deported. Then he was charged
with drugs. Now he is on trial
on the latter.
On
May 17, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Jesse M. Furman
presided over the trial. Inner
City Press went and covered
it.
On the stand was
an agent putting into evidence
photographs of Abreu's kitchen
in Connecticut with bags of
white powder in this. There
were not objections to these
exhibits.
The cross
examination questions were who
seized the powder, the agent
or the DEA? The DEA.
On May 18, as
often doesn't happened, Cesar
Abreu put on a case. It was
his half-brother Dario Munoz,
who lives on City Island in
the Bronx making and restoring
furniture. He testifieda about
the room in the apartment of
Bridget Turk, in a housing
project on FDR Drive, that
Cesar Abreu lived in. Dario
called it Alphabet City and
said he went to pick up
Cesar's clothes after his
arrest. Later Judge Furman
held another proceeding that
Inner City Press has written
to this chambers about.
Inner City Press
will continue covering these
trials.
The case is US v.
Abreu, 21-cr-300 (Furman)
