SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 17 – A Bronx man out on supervised release after serving 38 months in prison in a narcotics conspiracy was arrested in The Bronx and charged with gun possession on October 11, 2023. He had been in Federal detention since October 13.
On November 24, his lawyer filed with U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge George B. Daniels a link to an Instagram video of the arrest, complete with an NYPD officer repeatedly punching him in the face. Inner City Press found the filing and followed the link.
On December 29 for the lead named defendant in the case, defense counsel recounted the death in a fight by a Kennedy Fried Chicken on Webster Avenue in The Bronx - the defendant shot his friend Jason Parris, counsel says, trying to save him from a gang beat-down. He is requesting 84 months.
On January 12 the US Attorney's Office wrote in and asked for 20 years for Goodman.
On January 16, Goodman was sentenced to 12 years or 144 months in prison, with Otisville requested and recommended.
The case is US v. Goodman, et al., 20-cr-57 (Daniels)
