COURTHOUSE,
Aug 15 – The five-count
indictment of NYC Mayor Eric
Adams was unsealed in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court. Inner City
Press was the first one in and
live tweeted it. City of Maybe
book
The unsealing thread
On September 17
at noon he was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty. Thread.
On January 10
Arkan pled guilty, Inner City
Press was there and later
asked his lawyer if Arkan will
testify. There was no answer,
but sentencing was put off to
August 15, after Adams' trial,
with zero to six month
guideline.
On August 1,
after the case against Adams
was dismissed with prejudice,
Arkan wrote in asking for one
year probation, on Patreon
here
But Arkan's
counsel refiled to seal all 53
exhibits, presumably
sentencing letter of the kind
that Inner City Press recently
won a Second Circuit order
about improper withholding,
Lee v. Greenwood.
Inner City Press
filed to unseal Arkan's 53
letters, saying the the Second
Circuit's decision in Lee v.
Greenwood is directly on point
and must be applied in this
case, before sentencing.
Filing here
On August 14
Judge Ho ordered unsealing,
ascribing it to error.
Inner City Press
immediately reviewed Dockets
12-1 and 12-2, which still
redacted for example
Endometriosis Foundation of
America, Turkish Kitchen and a
supporter who worked at
OceanFirst Bank, which settled
charges of redlining in
2024...
On August 15
after his lawyer threw shade
on DOJ and Judge Ho pushed
back, Arkan got no jail, one
year probation. Thread
