COURTHOUSE,
July 16 – On October 8, 2022 a
man fired a gun at a car
bearing down on him, which
ultimately crashed into a
storefront.
So
summarized Assistant US
Attorney Peter Davis on July
16 in the courtroom of U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jed S. Rakoff. Inner
City Press was there.
New
York State charges were
dropped due to ADAs' inability
to meet new discovery
deadlines. Defense counsel on
July 15 said the client would
plead to some by not all of
the VOSR specification, and
asked for a sentence of time
served: the 18 months spent on
Rikers Island before the state
case was dismissed.
But Judge
Rakoff asked, did the car
target the defendant before he
shot? Or afterwards? He said
he will need to see the video,
and scheduled a next hearing
for August 6 at 2 pm, amid a
bench trial. (He asked for a
filing to be due on August 1,
a day he quipped would
otherwise live in infamy as it
is his birthday).
The docket on
PACER has almost none of this
- but watch this site. The
overall case is US v. Pena, et
al., 18-cr-637 (Rakoff)
