SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 30 – 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, 2021 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."
Jump cut to June
30, 2022: "NICHOLAS JOSEPH,
a/k/a “Gotti,” a/k/a
“Finesse,” was sentenced today
to 22 years in prison in
connection with his
participation in the Castle
Hill Crew, a violent street
gang based in the Castle Hill
Houses in the Soundview
neighborhood of the Bronx,
including for his role in the
shooting of a 12-year old
child on April 28, 2017,
narcotics trafficking,
firearms offenses, fraud, and
other acts of violence.
U.S. District Judge P. Kevin
Castel imposed today’s
sentence."
The case is US v.
Joseph, 20-cr-603 (Castel)
