SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 29 –
Marvin Minott a/k/a Tyson
Smith is charged with being a
felon in possession of
ammunition, to wit, one .38
caliber shell
casing.
On April 5, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Andrew L. Carter held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
After Judge
Carter asked about the status
of discovery and its review,
Minott spoke for himself and
said he has been "sprayed like
an animal" while in detention.
Jump cut
to December 20, 2023 - the
trial had been postponed, most
recently for a competency
exam. In the interim a jail
call was read out to Judge
Carter, a woman offered to say
it was her gun.
Dr. Ryan Nybo met
with Minott for two hours;
"the defendant did not agree
to further evaluation." On
December 20, with the finding
of competency uncontested, a
February 12, 2024 trial date
was set. Minott was allowed to
speak with his sister in the
courtroom for two minutes - he
was the last detainee of the
day to be taken from the
courthouse.
In February 2024
Minott pled guilty. On June
27, his lawyer wrote it to ask
for 36 months when he is
sentenced on July 11.
The case is US v. Minott,
21-cr-702 (Carter)
