Man Indicted for Threatening to Kill Rioters Gets Deferral Prosecution Agreement in SDNY


by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 9 – Back on August 26, 2020 Douglas Waterman posted on social media, "I am offering my services to stop the enemy. I am 54 years old. I would gladly beat and even kill those rioters." 

  He was charged with Threatening Interstate Communications.

  On February 9, 2024 Waterman represented by two Federal Defenders appeared before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Andrew L. Carter. Inner City Press was there.

  While a trial had been set for April 2024, on February 9 the SDNY prosecutors were putting forward a Deferred Prosecution Agreement under which, if Waterman sins no more in the next six months, the charged go away.

He not surprisingly agreed to it. The control date is August 30, 2024.

 The case is, or was, US v. Waterman, 21-cr-228 (Carter)
