SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 21 – On January 20, Martin
Luther King Day, at 5:30 pm
two defendants were arrested
and then were presented one
after the other on January 21
in U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court.
Each has a
separate case, the complaint
in which refers to the other
as "CC-1" or CC-2."
Presented
first was Arsenio Genao
Francisco, wearing a shirt
with sparkles spelling out
Versace. His complaint,
20-mj-730, at Paragraph 8(j)
said that "in the White SUV,
CS-1 observed CC-2 in the
front passenger seat and
another person, later
identified as ARSENIO GENAO
FRANCISCO, in the driver's
seat."
After Fransisco was detained
on consent, charged with
conspiracy to distribute 400
grams or more of fentanyl,
Miguel Angel de la Cruz
Rodriguez was presented. His
complaint, 20-mj-739, at
Paragraph 10(k) said "in the
White SUV, CS-1 observed
RODRIGUEZ in the front
passenger seat and another
person ('CC-2') in the
driver's
seat."
Clearly, CC-2 is Fransisco and
CC-1 is Rodriguez, each with a
separate case number.
Rodriguez sought
bail; he was described as not
a citizen and his Federal
Defender requested and got a
non-public sidebar discussion,
held in the Magistrate Court's
robing room without a court
reporter.
At the
conclusion of this discussion,
Rodriguez was denied bail and
was remanded. Inner City Press
will continue to follow the
case(s). They are US v.
Rodriguez, 20-mj-729
(Gorenstein) and US v.
Fransisco, 20-mj-730
(Gorenstein).
