SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 19 – Aliyah Baker sued
New York City for NYPD
officers assaulting her while
she mourned the death of her
17 year old
niece.
On
September 17 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Alvin K. Hellerstein held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The parties said
they're ready for trial. Judge
Hellerstein reminded them that
amid COVID the SDNY has, he
said, only four court rooms
for jury trials. He referred
the case to Magistrate Judge
Debra C. Freeman for a
settlement.
The case is Baker
v. City of New York, et al.,
19-cv-8141 (Hellerstein)
