SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 14 – Huggins Orelien is
on trial for the gun-point
robbery of an escort in a
Bronx hotel back on December
4, 2019. He is in
custody.
On July 13,
2022 his jury trial proceeded
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Richard M. Berman.
Inner City Press went and
covered it, the only media in
the courtroom
gallery.
The victim,
identified as Ms. Rivera, was
on the stand, testifying on
direct how she advertised on
"City Guide" and had a
separate cell phone for client
calls and, when questioned,
about her preferences.
She
previewed the video the jury
will see, how distressed she
was when she called the hotel
desk.
She said
she was afraid of calling the
police, thinking they would
arrest her for prostitution.
The defense has
moved to keep out expert
testimony about where his cell
phone was, citing Daubert,
GE v. Joyner, and Kuhmo
Tire.
On July 14, Judge
Berman read his legal
instructions to the jurors,
including concerning Count 3,
brandishing of firearm. He
cited the testimony of the
cell site expert, and another
on DNA.
The case is US v.
Orelien, 20-cr-636
