Bronx Man Spoke of Sleeping on Roof and Got Four Month Sentence Now Co-D In on VOSR By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 30 – Peter Gonzalez had been in jail since September 4, 2018.  On May 18, 2021 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Katherine Polk Failla held a sentencing proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.    Judge Failla has had this narcotics conspiracy case since 2015. She inquired into sentencing comparables, and then asked Gonzalez to speak if he wished to.  He did.   Gonzalez said he wanted to be transparent. He acknowledged a previous use of violence, and said he'd stopped it.  He spoke of having to sleep on a roof. Judge Failla took a more than ten minute break, and then returned with her sentence: time served plus four months.  She told Gonzalez to not make her regret it. Jump cut all the way to September 30, 2026 when the lead named defendant was brought in  Violations of Supervised Release involving guns. A fill-in CJA consented to detention and sought a medical order. The case is USA v. Ortiz, 1:15-cr-608 (Failla) *** Your support means a lot.
