SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 31 – Timothy Mitchell
came to plead guilty to being
a felon in possession of a
firearm before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
John G. Koeltl on July 31.
Inner City Press covered it.
The change
of plea proceeding was moving
along according to the ritual
until Judge Koeltl asked AUSA
Andrew Chan what evidence he
would have presented at trial.
Chan said there
is video of Mitchell shooting
a gun on Park Avenue in The
Bronx. The court reporter
asked, Park Avenue?
Mitchell
asked to speak. He was
advised, strongly, to speak
with his lawyer.
Ultimately the
plea got back on track.
Mitchell was only pleading
guilty to having a gun, not
shooting it. But that got into
the transcript.
The case is US v.
Mitchell, 19-cr-843 (Koeltl)
