SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 17 – In the run-up to the
re-sentencing of Sheldon
Silver on July 20, on July 17
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Valerie E. Caproni held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
live tweeted it, below.
For July 20,
Judge Caproni described the
SDNY's COVID-19 entry process,
and said that while the
re-sentencing will happen in
40 Foley Square's Courtroom
110, Courtroom 506 will be an
overflow room to allow for
social distancing.
Here was the live
tweet: Sheldon Silver's lawyer
is saying Silver is concerned
about coming to the
SDNY courthouse. What if
the press approach him?
Judge Caproni
says press can call in if they
want. ] Shelton Silver's
lawyer asked if he can be
allowed to drive into the SDNY
courthouse, essentially to
avoid the press.
No, Judge
Caproni says. She describes
the courthouse as clean as a
whistle and largely
empty AUSA Richenthal
describing the money due for
the affirmed scheme
Richenthal: The government
should get all fees from
referrals of patients from
2008 and before.
Now Sheldon
Silver's lawyer tells Judge
Caproni that Silver will be
taxed on forfeited funds, says
the Government mistakenly
liquidates some funds. "He's
going to have a significant
tax bill... $400,000 is known,
some is unknown...
Silver's lawyer:
"If there's any imprisonment,
he'll lose his Social Security
and health benefits, he'll
have to pay his wife's health
insurance out of his own
pocket."
Yeah.
The case is
US v. Silver, 15-cr-93
(Caproni)
