COURTHOUSE,
March 21 – A man charged with
arson for throwing two Molotov
cocktails at 74 West 119th
Street in Harlem in 2024 came
to pled guilty to possession
of the Molotov cocktails
without a licence, on March
21, 2025 before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag court.
Judge Parker ran through the
questions; when it was time to
allocute, the defendant said
he had had two "Mazel Tov"
cocktails. This was not
corrected, but may be, in the
transcript.
The plea deal is
for 57 to 71 months, with
sentencing set for July 15 by
the assigned District Judge
Jesse M. Furman.
The case is
USA v. Calderon, 1:24-cr-119
(Furman / Parker)
