SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 15 – Cambria Merrill
was arrested on wire fraud
charges in the Northern
District of Illinois on
September 25, 2019.
Her case
was assigned to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Edgardo Ramos. The U.S.
Marshal Service paid for her
travel on December 13, 2019 to
appear before Judge
Ramos.
Then,
because one of the alleged
victims is a member of the
immediate family of a sitting
judge of the SDNY, the case
was transferred to EDNY Judge
Raymond C. Dearie in Brooklyn.
But it is still an SDNY
case.
On February
2, 2021 Merrill pled guilty,
and was to be sentenced by
Judge Dearie on August 13.
Inner City Press called in to
cover it.
But Judge
Dearie said there are holes in
the pre-sentencing report, and
also that he prefers to
sentence Merrill in person.
He will sign an
order for the U.S. Marshal
Service to pay for her travel
from Chicago - for an in
person sentencing on September
15, in the Courtroom 10A-S in
Cadman Plaza.
This SDNY case is
US v. Merrill, 19-cr-695
(Dearie)
