SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 7– Jaquan Angevine was charged in 2017 with identity theft and bank fraud.
Now he is on Supervised Release, and on June 16 appeared before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on alleged violations of supervised release. Inner City Press covered it, here.
On July 7, Inner City Press covered the sentencing, live tweeting it:
AUSA Herman cited social media posts show Angevine with a lot of cash, giving a Cartier watch to a woman, while not paying restitution.
Probation: We are seeking 11 months due to continuing non-compliance. "Angevine left his house June 24."
Judge Engelmayer: "I previously indicated my intention to impose a term of imprisonment today. But where and when should he report?" Probation: He can self-surrender to Marshals in SDNY. Judge Engelmayer: I will give a date, this week. Where? Probation: 500 Pearl.
Angevine's lawyer Mr. Diaz: "All my representations are based on information and belief based on my conversations with Mr. Angevine... This is a non violent offender... There is #COVID19 in the jail. I recommend an additional year of supervision."
Angevine speaks: I'm going through alot. My mother getting sick, losing my friends to violence. I'm asking if I could please get another chance. Judge Engelmayer: I'm just going to take a moment & collect my thoughts.
Judge Engelmayer: A term of imprisonment is required here. You have committed a series of violations of the terms of your supervised release. You pled to four separate violations... To a much lesser degree, there is general deterrence. I can't say I'm thinking much about that here... I sentence you to five months imprisonment, beginning Friday at 2 pm. After that, 3 years of Supervised Release.
Back in June, Judge Engelmayer provided notice in advance, "the Court may order Mr. Angevine's immediate remand." Sentencing on the violations was set for first week in July.
Judge Engelmayer says "it's my understanding that at some point in July the court will open for non-trial criminal conferences.... Mr Smallman will tell you if it's that, or CourtCall."
He declined to remand Angevine, citing COVID-19, and said how he acts between now and July will mean something.
The case is US v. Angevine, 18-cr-108 (Englemayer).
