COURTHOUSE,
Nov 28 – Akeba Palmer was
arrested on November 22 and
charged with selling a gun to
a confidential source in front
of his building in the Bronx,
with a child with
him.
On November 27 he
was brought before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Saral L.
Cave. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag Court.
Palmer had
five supporters, including a
girl, in the gallery. The AUSA
noted the defendants prior
convictions, including for
armed robbery of a food
delivery person, back in the
Aughts.
The CJA
lawyer said that was a long
time ago, and that Palmer is
himself a food delivery man
now. Judge Cave said
Palmer could be released but
only after co-signers are
vetted; he cannot, she said,
work as a food delivery
person.
The
AUSA said his Office would be
appealing to the Part 1 Judge
Victor Marrero.
Inner City Press
was there when the appeal was
heard; thread:
Defense: This is
not the most dangerous crime.
If he's jailed he will lose
his apartment. Part 1
Judge Victor
Marrero: I revoke the bail
package. This involves a
career criminal, allegedly
selling a gun.
Akeba Palmer will
be detained, apparently in MDC
Brooklyn.
Inner City Press
will continue to follow the
case. It is US v. Palmer,
23-mj-7289 (Cave / Marrero)
