EXCLUSIVE,
March 5 – A defendant who
previously served nine years
in prison on drug charges was
up for sentencing for
violating supervised release
by having distribution
quantities of crack on March 5
before the judge has had his
case in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York since
2011, Judge Richard J.
Sullivan. Inner City Press was
there.
Probation
recommended eight months; the
AUSA proposed 14. Judge
Sullivan asked how that was
enough, given that a 24 month
sentence had been followed by
this new charge.
Defense counsel had annexed
news articles about a "race
riot" in the MDC on February
22 which resulted in the
stabbing of Karl "Little D"
Jordan, convicted of the
murder of Jam Master Jay.
Inner City Press learned in
the proceeding, which it was
the only media to cover, that
February 22 "beef" was between
African American and Latinos
inmates, involving 22
detainees and leaving only
Jordan still in the
hospital.
Judge
Sullivan, now on the Second
Circuit, listened and took a
five minute break. He returned
to impose a sentence of 18
months - both the defendant
and his parents thanked him.
The
case is USA v. Suarez,
1:11-cr-839 (Sullivan)
