SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 4 – Howard Adelglass has
been on trial charged with
conspiring to unlawfully
distribute more than one
million pills of oxycodone.
On October
24, 2022, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff
was presiding over the trial.
Inner City Press went and
covered it, see below.
On November 4,
the jury convicted Adelglass:
"JURY VERDICT as to Howard
Adelglass (1) Guilty on Count
1. Motions due by 11/11/2022.
Responses due by 11/16/2022.
Sentencing set for 3/8/2023 at
04:00 PM before Judge Jed S.
Rakoff. Status Conference set
for 11/18/2022 at 09:30 AM
before Judge Jed S. Rakoff."
On October 24 on
the witness stand was
government confidential source
Mr. Brown, under cross
examination. He insisted he
was not involved in any "drug
crew." Rather, he said,
police would drive him to
locations to buy drugs.
Defense
counsel asked, From
strangers?
Yes, Brown
said, that's how you arrested
- selling drugs to people you
don't know.
On October 26,
one of Adelglass' patients or
customers was on the stand,
explaining how he charged $350
for a shot, and the oxy could
cost up to $1000. On
redirected she was asked if
Adelman every asked her what
activities were given her the
pain. No, she said, I was
addicted.
On October 27,
another of Adelglass'
customers or victims was on
the stand. She began taking
oxy at college in 2014 and was
addicted, and buying on the
street, by 2017. She said she
would crush the pills and
snort them through a straw for
a faster effect. Then she
bought them from Adelglass.
Another CJA lawyer was in the
back bench of the gallery.
On October 31,
put into evidence were the
MMEs of Adelglass "patient"
Lauren Grillo. Adelglass took
her dosage up from 75 to 400,
which the witness said would
only be for a person on their
deathbed. (When he gave a
graphic example of cancer and
bloated belly, several jurors
appeared to wince). There was
mention of fentanyl, too.
Adelglass continued to listen
through headphones. The trial
continues.
The case is US v.
Adelglass, 20-cr-605 (Rakoff)
