SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 27 – A person named Rodney
Person was brought in shackled
on December 12, 2019 into the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court, charged
with a Violation of Supervised
Release. Inner City Press was
there, and reported on it.
The
Assistant US Attorney
described a car chase, a chase
on foot, a physical
confrontation. He asked for
detention.
Person's lawyer, on the other
hand, said that the police who
chased Person were undercover
and not in uniform; his client
fled from fear. He pointed to
the near empty gallery of the
Magistrates Court, where Inner
City Press and a handful of
others including Person's
mother were waiting.
Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave
asked where Person is living.
1150 College Avenue was the
answer.
She
ordered him bailed for a
$50,000 bond, with the next
appearance on January 7 before
Judge Batts. The indictment
before her, back in the day,
listed crack sales "in the
vicinity of 1150 College
Avenue (Paragraph 4c-d).
Jump cut to
October 27, 2021, when the now
assigned District Judge
Richard M. Berman had a
proceeding with and about
Person. Inner City Press again
covered it.
While the long time AUSA
expected a plea and
sentencing, Judge Berman
pushed back. He said he wanted
to assess how supervision was
going, and to improve it --
the stop the roller coaster.
The AUSA
pointed out that Person was
"going in" on state charges
and would like to know what he
faced on the Federal side.
Judge Berman said, come back
when you get out. And he hoped
for a not so bad time in.
The case is US
v. Person, 09-cr-983
(Berman).
