SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 1– Miguel Diaz is charged
with being in possession of
ammunition after a previous
felony conviction. He is
described as having shot a man
in the arm in broad daylight
near Jessup Avenue in The
Bronx.
On October 24, 2023 Diaz was
brought before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker. Inner City Press was
covering the Mag Court, that
and every day, the only media
in this SDNY Mag Court.
The case was
Federalized as a felon in
possession charge, to maximize
the penalty and odds of
conviction.
Jump cut to
February 26, 2024: Diaz after
switching lawyer has gone pro
se. But at the prosecutors'
request he is not being shown
the whole warrant to search
his residence on Nelson
Avenue. His trial is set for
July 10, 2024.
On May 31 his
standby counsel wrote in to
say Diaz wants him removed:
"he believes we are too
busy... we are currently
engaged in US v. Mendendez and
it appears we will be for
several more weeks and likely
into July 2024."
The case is
US v. Diaz, 23-cr-576 (Liman)
