SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 24 -- For the September
2018 murder of Christopher
Pierce, defendant Jonathan
Colon was presented and
detailed on consent by U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave
on March 24.
Inner City
Press was the only media
present when the capital
review process was cited, then
four other co-defendants were
presented.
Several were
released on bail, one after an
unsuccessful appeal by
Assistant US Attorney Allison
Nichols to SDNY Chief Judge
Colleen McMahon.
Khalil Suggs had his parents
in the courtroom when Judge
Cave ordered him released.
AUSA Nichols
asked for and received a stay,
and went to the other side of
the SDNY's 24th floor to
appeal. But Chief Judge
McMahon said Magistrate Judge
Cave had it right, and allowed
for the release.
Moments
later co-defendant Erick
Oleago was represented before
Judge Cave by Sabrina Shroff,
who announced that a case of
Coronavirus had been
identified in the MCC jail and
11 North locked down.
When Judge Cave
ordered Oleago released, the
AUSA did not mention any
appeal. The case is US v.
Ozuna, et al., 20-cr-213
(Vyskocil / Cave).
