SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 8 – In 2017, Brandon
Gardner was convicted of
selling numerous twists of
crack in housing projects.
On
September 8, 2020 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses
held a Violation of Supervised
Release proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
While often
VOSR charges are not put in
the public docket, in this
case a summons was included,
alleging that on March 14,
2020 in The Bronx Gardner
"committed a state crime,
fleeing from officer in motor
vehicle... high speed chase...
leaving the scene of a person
injury accident in violation
of Vehicle Traffic Law 600.2A
in that the Supervisee
"rear-ended an occupied
vehicle, caused injury to the
driver, and continued to
flee." The summons is full of
typos.
Gardner's
lawyer David Stern consented
to his client's detention
pending a future proceeding
before the assigned District
Judge, Denise L. Cote.
On June
11, 2021, Judge Cote held a
proceeding on the CourtCall
platform with Brandon Gardner.
He was pleading guilty to most
of the 14 specifications --
but both sides asked that the
transcript be sealed.
The proceeding,
however, was open. Inner City
Press is voluntarily limiting
its reporting; tellingly, the
only next step on this docket
will be a status letter by
December 17. We will stay on
the cases, because the courts,
and deals the government
makes, must be public.
The case is US v.
Gardner, 18-cr-317 (Cote /
Moses).
