SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 27 – There was a
criminal proceeding in US v.
Calvin Hudson on May 27, and
Inner City Press covered it,
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Chief Judge Colleen
McMahon.
Speaking for US was Maurene
Comey, accompanied by three
FBI agents.
Judge
McMahon released Hudson from
prison due to COVID-19. Now
his lawyer wanted him to be
able to leave the apartment,
saying he's a construction
contractor.
AUSA
Maurene Comey said she opposes
the request.
Judge
McMahon: I'm not going to
modify the conditions right
now... There is no
construction in Manhattan
right now. What's
next?
Defense
lawyer: If the court wants to
set a date to set a trial
date. You know the court's
plans better than we
do.
Judge McMahon:
The Court's plans are fluid.
We have a limited number of
courtrooms for social
distancing... There's another
committee on how to allocate
courtrooms. I certainly will
have more of an idea in
September of what is happening
then. (Counsel including AUSA
Comey laughed.)
AUSA Comey: However quickly we
can move, with safety, the US
would consent to.
Judge McMahon: I
have some reason to believe
that a one-defendant trial
will get priority over a multi
defendant trial. But that
hasn't been decided yet.
AUSA Comey: Two of the
cooperators against Hudson
will be testifying before
Judge Marrero in
October...
Judge
McMahon: OK, we can move it to
November. Everybody, stay
safe.
The case is USA
v. Hudson, 19-cr-496
(McMahon).
