SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 14 –
William Scott is on trial in
connection with the firing of
a gun outside East 183rd
Street in The Bronx on June
23, 2020.
Inner City
Press is covering this felon
in possession of a firearm
case in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York before
Judge Analisa
Torres.
On April 11
the prosecution painstaking
showed security video of
gunfire by a man in red
shorts, a white T-shirt and
running shoes they said was
William Scott, whom they a/k/a
as "Ill Will."
The defense -
Scott has two separate CJA
counsel, after earlier in the
case having the Milbank law
firm - introduced other camera
angles.
SDNY US
Attorney Damian Williams came
in for a bit, as Inner City
Press also noted
he did during the recent US v.
Eric Spencer / Soho Chanel
store robbery trial.
His Assistant US
Attorney complained that the
defense is not sharing its
exhibits in advance.
On April 12,
another of Scott's CJA lawyers
cross examined a witness,
demanding to know "if you said
'pop'!" There were fewer
people in the courtroom. The
AUSA's request to for a brief
re-cross was denied. The US is
arguing that Witness B's sale
of ecstasy to Scott and others
should not come in, or at
least not be the subject of
cross examination.
On April 13, at
the end, Scott's Rule 29
motion was denied by Judge
Torres, after the AUSA
insisted that they had
presented enough evidence,
with video and live witnesses
and the ATF testimony about
inter-state transport.
On April 14
before 2 pm, Judge Torres gave
her legal instructions to the
jurors. By 3:30 pm, they had
returned: guilty.
The case is
US v. Scott, 21-cr-429
(Torres)
