SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 1 – Travis
Moore was
charged in
connection
with a 2020
murder - he
was downstairs
in a taxi, in
which his
co-defendant
Kyeone Stone
and two guns
were
found.
On
July 10, 2023,
Moore was
arrested at 6
am and
appeared
before U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York
Magistrate
Judge Robert
W. Lehrberger
at 4 pm. Inner
City Press was
there, the
only media in
the SDNY Mag
court.
Moore's
lawyer
emphasized
that the Bronx
District
Attorney had
dropped the
charges. The
Assistant US
Attorney said
his office has
more
evidence.
Judge
Lehrburger
said the
presumption
had been
overcome and
ordered Moore
released on
$100,000
unsecured
bond, urging
him to go out
and look for
employment.
On
August 8, the
case was
indicted and
wheeled out to
District Judge
Ronnie Abrams.
On
August 30
Judge Abrams
held a
proceeding,
but only Moore
was there.
Stone, Judge
Abrams said,
wasn't feeling
well. Moore's
lawyer asked
for nine weeks
and got it,
until October
30 at 11:30
am.
On
September 12,
2023 Stone was
brought in in
custody before
Judge Abrams
to be
arraigned.
Other than
Inner City
Press, there
was only a
couple in the
gallery. He
pleaded not
guilty and was
told of the
October 30
conference.
The Marshals
took him down
by the 40
Foley Square
elevators.
Jump
cut a year to
November 1,
2024 - the US
Attorney's
Office, in a
heavily
redacted
letter, speaks
of an
evaluation by
a psychiatrist
and that BOP
says an
evaluation is
unlikely to
occur in time
for trial to
proceed on
February 3,
2025.
The
case is now US
v. Stone, et
al., 23-cr-409
(Abrams)
