SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 26 – Anthony Collier and
Stephen Odiboh were arrested
in November 2019 in Georgia on
money laundering and bank
bribery charges, in a
complaint that references "one
of the largest banks in the
southeastern United
States."
The two were
presented together before
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses
of the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on December 26, with
Inner City Press the only
media in the Mag Court. They
are next due for a conference
on February 14 before Judge
William H Pauley III. Inner
City Press will stay on this.
The case is US v. Phillips, et
al, 19-cr-809 (Pauley).
A man who
was shot in the stomach on
November 6 in the Bronx juice
bar he had opened only the
month before was approved for
publicly-funded Criminal
Justice Act legal
representation on December 26.
In a short
proceeding in an otherwise
empty, but for Inner City
Press, Magistrates Court of
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York, Magistrate Judge Barbara
Moses asked what income he had
received from his story in
November and December so far.
None, he replied, stating that
he was in a coma for five days
and has had to return to the
hospital with an infection
from the pump in his stomach.
He said he has
left an employee in charge,
who when he calls tells him
there is no money to pay
out.
From public
reporting at the time, it
appears that it is the Healthy
Juice Bar at 700 Adee Avenue
in Allerton. Inner City Press
is not publishing the shot
storeowner's name; a photo of
the person said at the time to
be a suspect is here.
But
why would the victim need to
be appointed a CJA lawyer? No
docket number was read out,
nor any explanation
offered. On that, we may
have more.
