SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 5 – Boisey Caldwell sued NYPD Officer Geronimo German for abusing him while he was fishing in Morningside Park.
On August 1, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave held a near final pre-trial conference. Inner City Press covered it.
The NYC Corporation Counsel lawyers did not want to be referred to as such as trial, or as representing the City, only German.
Judge Cave said she'd have to inquire about Corporate Counsel during jury voir dire, but that during the trial the lawyers should be referred to by name, or as plaintiff's counsel and defense counsel. A final final pre-trial conference was set for August 5 at 5 pm.
And it took place at 5 pm, after a letter mailed in by Caldwell (photo here); it was said that won't happen again. The defense does not want the plaintiff's condition(s) described to the jury. Both sides agreed it will be a two to three day trial.
The case is Caldwell v. Officer German Geronimo, 19-cv-8253 (Cave)
