SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 3 – In the case of US
against Aljermiah Mack and
Anthony Ellison, the jury on
October 3 returned a mixed
verdict. Along with guilty
findings on racketeer, Count
1, and Counts 2, 5, 6 and 7,
it issued "Not Guilty" rulings
on Ellison Counts 3 and 4 and
with regard to Nuke Mack and
guns, Count 8.
What the
mixed verdict may mean for
6ix9ine's bid for both a 5K1
cooperator's letter and "time
served" instead of the 47 year
mandatory minimum he would
otherwise face is not yet
known.
On October 2 the
jury while deliberating on a
verdict asked for information
including the testimony of
Ellison's then girlfriend Ms.
Ramirez and a laptop full of
phone records. They will
resume deliberating on
Thursday October 3 but if they
do not reach a verdict that
day will return only on
Monday. Meanwhile there were
thirty in the courtroom and
thirty in the hall.
Ellison's defense
lawyer Deveraux Cannick told
the jury to closely review
#6ix9ine's testimony, says he
was prepared for hours and
hours by the government and
still there are holes in his
story.
Cannick
emphasizes that #6ix9ine said
he only made one call, a
Facetime to his daughter.
Turns to Cruz claiming he's
worthy of your belief. "Ladies
and gentlemen, I don't buy
it." Cannick is saying
sometimes the government
should tear up the 5K1 letter,
but doesn't. Here's Inner City
Press on a cooperator who
after the deal smuggled drugs
into private prison and sold
them. Judge Gardephe was
outraged, gave
4 years
Government
objects to Cannick saying a
Kristian Cruz call was in the
last six weeks. Judge
Engelmayer doesn't rule, tells
jury that their recollection
will control. Cannick going
back and forth between
references to #6ix9ine and
Cruz
Cannick:
Cruz has no familiarity with
Harv. He said, "Harv is not a
thief" only in order to prime
the pump and get Mel Murda to
talk. But where did Mel Murda
get his info from? Shotti. But
#6ix9ine said "Shotti is a
liar. Shotti is a fraud."
Cannick asked why
the government didn't take at
face value their witness
#6ix9ine's view that Shotti
was a liar. Says
of course Mel Murda told Cruz
whatever he wanted- he needed
Cruz' drugs and money. More here.
