SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, April 2 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York back on July 27, 2022 a
detention or release
proceeding was held by
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
on a defendant charged with
firearms use, carrying and
possession in a narcotics
conspiracy that was not, in
the proceeding, named.
It was Own
Every Dollar, the subject of
an SDNY / Manhattan DA press
conference on August 2
announcing the unsealing of a
superseding indictment for
multiple murders including in
The Bronx.
On March 31 at
the final pre-trial conference
for the three defendants going
to trial on April 7 the AUSA
asked that the names of jurors
not be said in court. Defense
counsel opposed what he called
a request for a quasi
anonymous jury. The AUSA said
this is not a fraud trial but
one for extremely violent
behavior, that jurors from
Washington Heights might be
afraid. When one defense
counsel said they'd be no
press, Judge Oetken said,
there's a member of the Press,
pointing out Inner City Press.
Yes, we are covering this
case. The request was
correctly denied.
On April 2 in the
SDNY Mag Court, another
defendant pled guilty - this
time, to all charges including
an after-arising one of use of
K2 and other drugs while in
jail. The AUSA referred to the
"context" of the plea, and for
that reason Inner City Press
is voluntarily not here
reporting the name of the
co-defendant who pled guilty.
But we expect to see him next
week - watch this site.
