COURTHOUSE,
Oct 17 – For an armed robbery
of a bodega owner in his
apartment at Amsterdam and
West 91st Street, one
defendant was retained and one
released on bond in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
On March 7
both appeared before SDNY
Judge Lewis J. Liman. Inner
City Press was there, the only
media in the
courtroom.
Judge Liman
gave two more weeks to provide
discovery, and set a next
conference for June 3 (a
defense lawyer said he'd be on
a family ski trip to Steamboat
Springs, Colorado on the first
proposed date, May 28).
Judge Liman said
he would set a trial date at
that time.
On July 14 Judge
Liman set a trial date for
co-defendant Mangual: February
9, 2026, after the lead
defendant pled guilty on May
1.
Epps got five
years on August 20. In October
17, Mangual pled guilty, with
sentencing set for January 27
at 11 am.
The case is
USA v. Epps, et al.,
1:25-cr-83 (Liman)
