COURTHOUSE,
Oct 10 – A man charged with
buying guns in Tennessee and
selling them in New York pled
guilty on January 30 before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Valerie E. Caproni.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the
courtroom.
Judge
Caproni asked if the defendant
understood he was waiving the
statute of limitations, then
explained it. She asked if he
understood he was waiving the
right to appeal any sentence
five years or below, as put in
the plea agreement.
Yes, was
the answer.
Sentencing was set.
On February 20 as
to co-defendant Diaz, facing
trial April 7, the US
Attorney's Office's office
wrote in asking to adjourn
deadlines given discussions of
a pre-trial resolution.
On March 10, the
US Attorney's Office wrote in
seeking a change of plea date
for Diaz; Judge Caproni set it
for March 20 at 2:30 pm.
But on March 20,
Judge Caproni set the trial
date back to April 28, with
filings due April 18.
Unless...
On April 2, the
US Attorney's Office wrote in
asking the Court to schedule a
change of plea hearing,
suggesting April 4 at 2:30 pm.
And he did plead
guilty, with sentencing set
for July 16.
On July 2, for
sentencing pushed to July 17,
the Federal Defender in a
redacted submission asked for
time served for lead defendant
Tyson.
On July 31 he got
five years probation, the
first six months subject to a
curfew set by Probation.
On October 9 Diaz
was sentenced to ten years.
The case is
USA v. Tyson, 1:24-cr-252
(Caproni)
