SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Oct 12 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on October 12, a guilty
plea was taken by Magistrate
Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the Mag
Court.
The
defendant was Curtis Hilliard,
pleading guilty to the lesser
included charge of conspiracy
to distribute more than 500
grams of cocaine (and allowing
others to store it in an
apartment he rented in
Harlem).
The AUSA
located the crime(s) at 111th
Street; the defendant in his
allocuation seemed to say
135th Street. The upshot is
that there is a five year
mandatory minimum, with the
safety valve being deemed
inapplicable. The sentencing
is set for December 15 at
noon; defendant remains
detained.
The case is US v.
Hilliard, et al. , 22-cr-82
(McMahon / Gorenstein)
