SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 17 – At 1:40 pm back on
January 13, 2019 at Tinton
Avenue and East 166th Street
in The Bronx, there was a
shoot-out recorded by an NYPD
Shot Spotter device.
Eric Rodriguez,
then under Federal
supervision, went to St.
Barnabas Hospital with a
gunshot wound in the back;
another man went to Lincoln
Hospital.
On June 17 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Sidney H. Stein
held a proceeding in the case.
Inner City Press covered it.
Rodriguez'
lawyer Andrew G. Patel said he
lives near the jail and will
be able to go in with a
laptop, unlike in MCC and
MDC.
Judge
Stein said, It sounds like if
you have to be somewhere, the
Westchester County Jail is the
place to
be.
Defense lawyer
Patel replied, Other than
there not being a coffee
machine, you can review
discovery at your heart's
content.
Judge Stein said, Let's set a
conference for July 28,
hopefully in the courthouse
but we'll just have to see.
And trial September 29.
The case is US v.
Rodriguez, 20-cr-77 (Stein).
