COURTHOUSE,
March 24 – A defendant
was up for sentencing for
armed carjackings before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge George B. Daniels on
December 17. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the courtroom, thread:
Defense: He has
PTSD and has been in the SHU
for most of his 30 months in
MDC Brooklyn. We request a
total sentence of 5 years.
Judge: Does the
US have any evidence who led
this carjacking crew?
AUSA: This
defendant was the most active:
8 carjackings. AUSA: He
brandished a firearm in five
of the carjackings.
Defense: He has a
strong support network both
here and in the Dominican
Republic.
Defendant:
With all due respect, I have
shown loyalty to the US.
Judge: Is he likely to be
removed from the US?
AUSA: I am not
aware if there is an
immigration hold on him.
Judge: His mental health
issues warrant some
consideration... I sentence
you to 10 years
On co-defendant
Caicedo, the US Attorney's
Office wrote in that on
February 7, 2025 he failed to
surrender for this four year
sentence. On March 24, Judge
Daniels ordered that "the
defendant is remanded to BOP
to begin serving his
sentence."
The case is USA
v. Felix-Aracena, 1:21-cr-21
