SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 23 – Philip Santiago is
being prosecuted as a felon in
possession of a firearm.
But he argues
that convictions set aside by
youthful offender
adjudications can no longer
provide a basis for a 922(g)
charge.
On February
23, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Alison J. Nathan
held an oral argument. Inner
City Press covered it.
Santiago argues
that the US Attorney's Office
is now try to circumvent this
Second Circuit precedent from
US v.
Sellers, 784 F.3d 876
(2d Cir. 2015).
Judge Nathan has
asked for some additional
filing about state law
aspects.
The case is US v.
Santiago, 20-cr-528 (Nathan)
