COURTHOUSE,
Dec 4 – A man is on trial
charged with having a gun as
he ran from police in the
South Bronx, after having
previously been convicted of a
felony. Inner City Press went
to cover the trial on
September 19.
NYPD
Officer Washington narrated
her and her partner's body cam
video as they drove the wrong
way on East 140th Street by
Brook Avenue, chasing the
defendant. Then, video a
school yard, with a gun on the
ground. The arrest, on shaky
cam.
As has
happened in many other U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
after the Supreme Court's
Bruen decision, a motion to
dismiss on Second Amendment
grounds was made, back in
March - and was denied.
On September 20,
the trial got into DNA. Thread
On September 23,
the (guilty) verdict, thread:
In gun case,
there's a note... Counsel,
family and US Marshals enter.
There is a verdict. Drum
roll...
Jury entering!
Judge: Do you have the verdict
sheet? Foreperson: We didn't
see one. Judge: Go back into
the jury room, we'll send
another one in
They're
back. Judge: Have you reached
a verdict? Foreperson:
Yes. Judge: How
do you find?
Foreperson:
Guilty...
Sentencing
was set for December 17 at 2
pm.
On December 4,
Grayson's lawyer wrote in
asking for a "below-Guidelines
sentence resulting in his
release from BOP custody."
The case is US v.
Grayson, 23-cr-614 (Rochon)
