SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 15 – Antoine Blount served
13 months in detention for
armed robbery until he was
released with five years of
Supervised Release in 2013 by
then-District Judge Richard J.
Sullivan of the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New
York.
On June 19, 2019
in Washington DC Blount jumped
a bike rack to enter the White
House grounds. He was arrested
and charged with, among other
things, violation of the terms
of his Supervised Release,
called
"specifications."
The transfer
papers sending Blount's
specifications to the SDNY
said, "The Honorable Judge
Sullivan is requesting that
the District of Columbia case
be assigned to him due to his
pre-existing relationship with
Mr. Blount's case and
therapeutic
needs."
But in a order
signed January 14 and filed
January 15, now Circuit Judge
Sullivan has transferred the
case and Blount to SDNY
District Judge Laura Taylor
Swain, to whom the case was
wheeled out ("duly assigned")
when transferred from from
federal court in Washington DC
on January 9. And that's how,
as Inner City Press daily
reports from the SDNY
Magistrates Court, the wheels
of justice turn.
The SDNY case was
US v. Blount, 12-cr-670
(Sullivan) and is now US v.
Blount, 20-cr-20
(Swain).
