COURTHOUSE,
Oct 21 – A man up for
sentencing after arrest for
distributing CSAM of
prepubescent boys had his
sentencing memo heavily
redacted by the Assistant US
Attorney - and his Federal
Defender's memo not even in
the docket. Inner City Press
went to the sentencing.
The
Federal Defender emphasized
that his client had
cooperated. The AUSA
concurred, and said, If you
were to give a time served
sentence.
But Judge
Castel recounted a prior
conviction in Michigan, and
details about the materials
distributed. He imposed a
sentence of 84 months.
The
Federal Defender asked that
the transcript be sealed - and
the Assistant US Attorney
agreed. Inner City Press was
there, and is publishing this
report.
Voluntarily, we
are not here including the
name or docket number.
But
something is wrong, including
with sentencing memos not even
in the docket, with no filing
requesting or permitting that.
