SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 24 – Justin Hampton faces trial on November 28 - or two trials, with the jury to be informed of the final count only after it deliberates on the first four. Inner City Press has been covering the case and the counts and will report on the trial(s).
Counts 1 through 4 involve armed robberies in The Bronx (a pizzeria on Bruckner Boulevard and a dollar store in Soundview) as well as Brooklyn and Queens. Count 5 is being a felon in possession.
On November 23, 2022, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan ruled that "on November 28 the Court will commence trial on Counts One though Four without notifying the jury that there is a fifth count. Once the first phase of the trial concludes... the Court will inform the jury of the existence of Court Five and proceed with a trial as to that final count."
Inner City Press will report on it.
The case is US v. Hampton, 21-cr-766 (Cronan)
