SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 1 – Steve Ramsnamy
was arrested on drug charges
in 2013.
On May 1, 2020 he
spoke before and to Judge
Denise L. Cote of the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
recounting how police from a
particular Bronx precinct have
targeted him since his
youth.
Judge Cote,
who had cautioned him before
he spoke for himself,
maintained that she may extend
his period of supervision for
six months in the next
proceeding.
Notably and to
her credit, in this time of
Coronavirus, Judge Cote said
the defendant has an absolute
right to be present in court
and if he does not waive it
she will do her best to
accommodate it.
"Those
required to be in court will
be here," she said. Inner City
Press, who covered this, too.
The case is US v. Ramsnamy,
13-cr-242 (Cote).
