SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 3 – Megan Maisonet, along
with her husband Victor, is
accused of selling guns for
$750 apiece, mostly in The
Bronx, from July 2019 to
January 2020.
On February
19 Megan Maisonet appeared
before U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Jed S. Rakoff,
who set the
next
conference for
April 1.
Her CJA lawyer
said she will
be traveling
in from
Pennsylvania,
so asked that
it be at 3 pm.
The prosecutor
cited a
medical
appointment at
3:30, and so
it was moved
to 2:30 pm.
Her
lawyer said he
could imagine
stipulating to
facts with the
prosecutor
then arguing
that as a
matter of law
she could not
be a firearms
trafficker.
Judge Rakoff
advised him to
put it in a
motion.
Back on
January 28 Megan Maisonet had
a bond hearing before SDNY
Magistrate Judge James L.
Cott.
Assistant US
Attorney Domenic Gentile was
agreeing to release on bond
but wanted it delayed until
January 30, so that
arrangements for GPS
monitoring could be made.
But reference was made to
Maisonet's three children, and
Judge Cott allowed her to be
released on January 28, with
the proviso that she called
her assigned SDNY Pre-Trial
Services officer daily until
supervision is transferred to
Pennsylvania.
The complaint in
the case is complaint with
photographs of the sold guns
and ammunition, with AFT -
NYPD Joint Firearms Task Force
logo, and the specifics of the
observed gun sales on
Williamsbridge Road and Silver
Street in The Bronx. The case
was US v. Maisonet, 20-mj-312
(Cott); now it is US v.
Maisonet, 20-cr-118 (Rakoff).
