SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 24 – Johnny Perez
a/k/a Ghost was detained on
crack conspiracy
charges.
On January 13, 2022 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer held
a proceeding on Perez's
request to be released. Inner
City Press covered it.
The request
cited the spread of COVID in
the MDC; Perez' lawyer said he
would not reside in Yonkers
used for the charge conduct
but rather a three bedroom
apartment in The Bronx.
Judge
Engelmayer affirmed the
Magistrate Court decision to
keep Perez detained.
Jump cut to
October. Co-defendant Davon
Mial starts trial October 17,
and the courtroom will be
partially sealed. Inner City
Press was unaware of the
October 3 hearing
- some District Court have
centralized public notice of
sealing requests, rather than
a needle in a hay stack - but
continued to follow the case.
On October 24,
after jurors asked for
transcripts to buy videos, lab
reports, and "GX 3005 in
larger form," they returned
guilty verdicts on all counts,
with Count 1 put between 28
and 280 grams.
The case is US v.
Mial, 21-cr-499
