SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 2 – Albert McDuffie was
jailed after being arrested
and found with 13 firearms in
his house, including an AK-47
in his walls. Now after
pleading guilty and facing a
mandatory five year minimum he
has applied to be released
from prison due to the
Coronavirus pandemic.
On
April 2 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Valerie E.
Caproni head arguments on
Albert McDuffie's request, and
heard directly from his
brother Zeshawn McDuffie a
retired Corrections officer
who has offered a room in his
Long Island house to
quarantine in. Inner City
Press live tweeted the back
and forth @SDNYLIVE.
But Zeshawn
McDuffie's wife is a
registered nurse working per
diem at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Judge Caproni called the
nurse's work essential to the
community, and wondered of the
wisdom of bailing Albert
McDuffie out there.
Judge
Caproni did not decide right
away, saying that she will in
due course. The case is US v.
McDuffie, 19-cr-212 (Caproni).
