SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 3 – Saadah Masoud was
indicted for punching and
dragging Matt Greenman, who
was wearing a flag of Israel,
on 42nd Street near the United
Nations.
On July 5,
2022 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Denise L. Cote held
the arraignment of Masoud on
Federal hate crimes charges.
Inner City Press covered it,
as the only media in the
courtroom. (Tweets here)
After Masoud pled
guilty and while he was out on
bond awaiting sentencing in
March, his Pre Trial Services
officer compiled and filed a
list of violations of
conditions, not abiding by
curfew, not proving
employment. A hearing was held
on February 3 by Judge Cote
and Inner City Press was
exclusively there.
The Assistant US
Attorney said Masoud had
refused to work with an Office
Rothman --
Masoud's defense
lawyer said, This is about
Israel, not about being
Jewish.
Masoud
was ordered
"remanded" -
two US
Marshals moved
in and
handcuffed
him. Inner
City Press
will cover his
sentencing by
Judge Cote on
March 3.
