SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 21 -- Maurice Patterson
pled guilty in January 2011 to
selling 50 grams and more of
crack before Judge Jed S.
Rakoff the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York.
He
reappeared nine years later on
February 21, 2020 in a
Violation of Supervised
Release hearing that lasted
until 7 pm, also before Judge
Rakoff. Inner City Press was
the only media there as
Patterson's text messages to
his daughter telling her to
s*ck his d*ck were
described.
But this time
Maurice Patterson had a white
show law firm lawyer, a
sometime CJA, Rita Glavin of
Seward & Kissel. And with
a team of three others
including Brian Paul Maloney
and Sareen Karla Armani, she
made arguments Judge Rakoff
called interesting, including
that harassment in the second
degree -- that is, telling ASC
the mother of his daughter was
sex trafficking her -- is not
in fact a crime for purposes
of the Federal Supervised
Release
provisions.
A
written submission has been
requested of the government on
that, while Glavin traveled to
the Bahamas for some type of
legal conference. Inner City
Press in 2019 inquired,
including directly to Glavin,
how it was possible to
represent the government in
one case in the SDNY and those
charged by the government in
other cases, even if they
waive it.
Apparently David Patton of
Federal Defenders has said
that merely reciting the
conflict of interest, and
having it dismissed by judges,
is enough. But some conflicts
are just conflict. Still, we
will continue to cover this
interesting case. It is US v.
Patterson, 10-cr-94
(Rakoff).
