SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 6 – Corey Peterson, as a felon, is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.
On January 6 he pleaded guilty to just that, before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Cathy Seibel. Inner City Press covered it.
But there was more to the story.
Peterson said he only had the bullets because he had taken them from his 11 year old son.
His son's grandmother, he said, was going to make sure the police got the bullets the next day.
But Probation came and did a search, and now Peterson is in the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
His lawyer Daveraux L. Cannick said there were no meritorious defenses but that the circumstances will be brought up at sentencing. That will be on April 8 at 3:30 pm.
The case is US v. Peterson, 20-cr-682 (Seibel)
