SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 7 – Nicholas Joseph is
charged as part of Bronx drug
conspiracy that had a
shoot-out in a playground in
Castle Hill in which a 12-year
old was injured.
On January 4 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge P.
Kevin Castel held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Joseph
wanted to be released on
$250,000 bond, to his mother's
house in Pennsylvania. Judge
Castel declined, but set a
next conference for March 3.
Now on January 7,
AUSA Andrew Chan has written
to Judge Castel that "earlier
today a grand jury returned a
superseding indictment which
includes a second count of
being a felon in possession of
a firearm and ammunition."
They want Joseph to be
arraigned on this new charge
on March 3, saying that
"defense counsel previously
voiced no objection to the
exclusion of time [under the
Speedy Trial Act] until March
3."
The case is US v.
Joseph, 20-cr-603 (Castel)
