SDNY MAG COURT EXCLUSIVE, August 16 - In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 16, two arraignments in a single case were held by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses.
The defendants had been presented and released on bond with GPS bracelets in July. Now they had been indicted.
The lead defendant Axel Jesus Cardona Cardona speaks English. His co-defendant Cruz Alejandro Baires Navoa followed him in pleading not guilty, but through an interpreter.
They were arrested in July and charged with selling one brick of cocaine in a parking lot in the Bronx. The initial complaint referred to Axel as Alex, but that was fixed.
Now the case has been assigned to District Judge Torres, and a control date of August 30 set.
The case is US v. Cardona Cardona, et al., 22-cr-434 (Torres / Moses)
