After NYCHA Extortion Take Down Starks Mulls Moving to Dismiss under Snyder Decision

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 18 – For days Inner City Press had heard from its sources there would be a "takedown" on February 6, each SDNY Magistrate Judge would handle seven to 10 defendants.

Arrests happen at 6 am. So at 5:55 am Inner City Press tweeted it, first to X subscribers with the spoiler alert: the expectation was that each of the current or former NYCHA employees would be released on bond the same day.  

And then hours later at 9:39 am the prosecutors announced it. Media rushed around reporting it.  Inner City Press had it first, and after discretely waiting, published it first. Then this thread of presentments, here

 Now in Courtroom on 9 Charles Starks, 57,  of NYCHA70 with a Big Law CJA lawyer argues for no bond, release on own recognisance. He's accused of $7000 in bribes over 3 years. He's already fired.  "This is not Bernie Madoff."
Judge: $50,000 bond; wife can co-sign

On March 5, this defendant's case was indicted and assigned to District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon.

On July 18, Judge Rochon held a status conference with Starks; Inner City Press was there. Starks' lawyer said he might be moving to dismiss under the Supreme Court's decision on June 2024 in US v. Snyder. Judge Rochon gave him until September 16 to make that motion. We will be covering it - as it has implications for the other NYCHA cases, many of which are already pled out. Watch this site.

A case is US v. Starks, 24-cr-126 (Rochon)
