SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 5 -- Alleged members of
a Bronx drug gang were
presented and most detained on
March 5 by U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge
Kevin N.
Fox.
Tasha Burnett,
for example, while said to be
a church goer and an
entrepreneur, was described by
Assistant US Attorney Thomas
John Wright as having the
gang's name on her bedroom
wall and being captured on
wiretaps trying to get a run.
Judge Fox detained her.
But two of
her co-defendants, including
alleged gang leader Timothy
Wallace and his alleged deputy
Charkeem Payne, were ordered
released by Judge
Fox.
AUSA Wright
immediately spoke an appeal,
saying the District Judge
Denise L. Cote to whom the
case is assigned was still in
the courthouse. Sullivan &
Cromwell represented one of
those freed, and asked when
the appeal would
be.
So did Inner City
Press, the only media in the
SDNY Magistrates Court for
this. The intention to appeal
to Judge Cote was confirmed,
but no time was given. We will
continue to follow this. The
case is US v. Disla, et al,
20-cr-52 (Cote).
