SDNY COURT
EXCLUSIVE, March 14 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on December 2, a
detention or bond proceeding
was held by Magistrate Judge
Stewart D. Aaron on a man
charged with selling guns to
two men already in state
custody for plans to "shoot up
a synagogue," Christopher
Brown, 21, and Matthew Mahrer,
22.
Presented
in Federal court on December 2
was defendant / gun-seller
Jamil Hakime, who works with
detained youth at the NYC
Administration for Children's
Services. Inner City Press was
present, the only media (and
only non-involved person)
there. Live-tweeted

Jump cut to
January 24, 2023: the case has
been indicted, and wheeled out
to Judge Analisa Torres. She
held a proceeding, and Inner
City Press attended. Discovery
is ongoing; the AUSA said the
phones of the two
co-conspirators are being
reviewed and Hakime will get
some but not all of it.
The Federal
Defender said the proposed
protective order is disputed;
he will abide by it while
Judge Torres considers the
issue.
On March 13,
Judge Torres docketed an order
that Hakime is set to change
to plea - that is, to guilty -
on March 14: "ORDER as to
Jamil Hakime: The Court shall
hold a change of plea hearing
for Defendant Jamil Hakime on
March 14, 2023 (Signed by
Judge Analisa Torres on
3/13/2023)."
Inner City Press
went to the sentencing. The
sentencing guideline agreed to
is ten to sixteen months.
Hakime described driving his
co-conspirators to
Pennsylvania to get the gun.
The AUSA said the Pennsylvania
house is co-owned by Hakime.
There was not mention of what
the gun was to be used for.
Sentencing is set for July 18.
Inner City Press
will continue to cover the
case.
Back
from December 2, the thread.
The case is now
US v. Hakime, 22-cr-699
