SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 19 – Defendant Ernest
Horge on December 19 said in
open court that there are
stabbings in the Metropolitan
Correctional Center.
His court
appointed lawyer Matthew D.
Myers described non-functional
computers to review discovery
in the MCC, requiring him to
print out nine inches of
documents from a hard drive
the US Attorney's Office
provided him.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Laura Taylor Swain, who
has also received handwritten
letters from Horge's family
members and filed them in the
docket after redacting
children's names, patiently
asked Horge about his
medication.
But
Horge had more to say. He
insisted that the gun was
found in someone else's room,
in someone else's apartment.
He said the prosecutors, here
represented by AUSA Frank
Balsamello, were just "using
924(c) as a bargaining tool."
He said everybody loves him,
he has a great sense of humor.
He rhymed Prosecutors lying
and kids crying, and called
the whole situation a "Star
Spangled Banner blueprint for
genocide."
That said,
the case will continue, with a
conference on February 27 and
motions due on March 5. The
case is US v. Horge, 19-cr-96
(Swain).
