SDNY MAG COURT Exclusive, August 26 – Donovan Grant was charged with murdering Jercar Brooks in a 2014 marijuana robbery gone wrong in 634 East 233rd Street in The Bronx.
On August 26, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Sarah Cave held an in-person change of plea proceeding. Inner City Press went and covered it, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court.
Grant had to revise his allocuation, and even then, factual differences if not disputes remained. Grant was asked if he knew the gun was loaded and said he had not checked.
He admitted firing twice. But the AUSA put on the record that five shell casing were found. Defense counsel, dressed in bright yellow like Grant, did not dispute the five shell casings. A Fatico hearing was avoided and a November 28 control date was set.
The plea agreement is for twenty years; it's now on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here.
The case is US v. Grant, 21-cr-655 (Hellerstein / Cave)
