Butcher with Explicit Child Images Gets Sweetheart Deal from EDNY Prosecutors Whose Spox Bans Press

OUTSIDE EDNY COURT, Nov 6 –  A butcher found with explicit images and videos of children on his phone was given a lenient deal by DOJ prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York, Inner City Press found by attending a restitution proceeding not mentioned in the day's EDNY calendar. 

 The next day, the spokesman for the EDNY US Attorney, John Marzulli, got Inner City Press escorted out of the courthouse. But while Marzulli and his office may hinder the coverage, Inner City Press will not allow the coverage to be stopped.    

Being discussed on November 3 was how much the defendant, who already got a reduced 18 month prison sentence and no press release at all from the US Attorney's press office, unlike numerous other such cases, should pay in restitution. 

 Judge Ramon E. Reyes, to his credit, expressed concern at the lack of comparables presented by the prosecutors. He mentioned a Lily and a Sloan - presumably pseudonyms of victims. 

  Now, with Inner City Press out of the courthouse after DOJ Marzulli's targeting, the restitution has been finalized.

It is only $32,000, with a sealed appendix.

  Why are Marzulli and those who worked with him covering up this CSAM on the cheap, and blocking the access of Inner City Press which reported on it and often seeks to unseal? We will have more, much more, on this.  

This case is USA v. Ringel, 26-CR-0044 (RER)
