SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 20 – Former NBA players
Sebastian Telfair, Terrance
Williams, Anthony Allen and 15
others former players were
named in an indictment
unsealed on October 7, 2021
for defrauding the NBA health
fund, in Telfair's case, for
$350,000.
Telfair
nevertheless got a publicly
funded lawyer. Inner City
Press was there, in U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court and live
tweeted it here
and below(street video here)
Meanwhile this:
"ORDER as to Sebastian
Telfair. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED
that a bail review hearing is
scheduled for Friday, February
17, 2023 at 11:30 A.M.
Inner City Press
went to the courtroom at that
time. Judge Caproni, just
finished with a sentencing in
the case, told Telfair, I do
not want to remand you but I
would. She told Telfair to be
sure to comply with his
conditions, including drug
treatment; she noted he was
already showing up for mental
health treatment. She asked
Telfair, What will happen if
you do not comply? "You're
going to put me in jail,"
Telfair replied. Judge Caproni
nodded and wished him well.
On June 26, 2023,
Telfair's lawyer wrote in to
ask for a delay in sentencing:
"Mr.
Telfair has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to
commit wire fraud. I write with the consent
of the government to respectfully request a
ten-week adjournment of his sentencing
hearing, currently set for August 1, 2023.
This is my first request for an adjournment.
Mr. Telfair has appealed his 2017 state
conviction for criminal possession of a
weapon to the New York Court of Appeals, and
the outcome of the appeal could materially
affect his sentence in this matter"- full
letter on Patreon here.
Telfair on
January 30, 2024 was sentenced
to time served and three years
of supervised release. On
November 12 violation of
supervision was alleged, and a
November 20 hearing set. Inner
City Press went.
Judge Caproni said drug
tests have been failed, but
there is a job on the horizon
- and if not, community
service - and "I'm glad you're
smoking less." She set another
proceeding for February.
