COURTHOUSE,
Feb 27 รข€“ Henry Boone was
indicted as a felon in
possession of a gun in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
on June 28, 2023. Then a
superseding indictment under
the Armed Career Criminal Act,
allege three prior
convictions. But do they all
qualify? On August
2 Boone was brought by US
Marshals before SDNY Judge J.
Paul Oetken. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the courtroom. The
prosecutor said that only the
day before she'd gotten the
transcript of Boone's 1996
plea allocution to attempted
assault in the first degree,
for a shooting in 1437 Webster
Avenue in The Bronx on August
28, 1994. The
Federal Defender asked for
time to study and submitted a
brief on this new document. On August 9 the
US Attorney's Office submitted
a smart phone photo of the
Grand Jury Report, complete
with the shadow of the phone
that took the shot. Jump cut to June
20 when the US Attorney Office
opposed suppression, arguing
that the Terry stop was
reasonable. On December 1
Boone's Federal Defender wrote
in seeking to modify or
exclude four video clips of
his post-arrest statement. Jump cut February
27, 2026 when the US
Attorney's Office wrote in
that there are "productive
plea discussions" and asking
to put in another update on
March 13. The case is USA v. Boone, 1:23-cr-328 (Oetken)
