After DOJ Announced Sotomayor Houses Gang Take Down 1 Defendant Detained Amid Appeal for 2d

After DOJ Announced Sotomayor Houses Gang Take Down 1 Defendant Detained Amid Appeal for 2d by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 15 – Back on June 5 DOJ announced the nsealing of an Indictment charging 10 defendants with participating in a years-long racketeering conspiracy in the Sotomayor Houses in the South Bronx.    On June 15 Inner City Press was in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court for the presentment of one of the defendants. This one was routine - despite the presence of family members in the courtroom gallery, the defendant consented to detention (without prejudice to a future application). The next date is a conference before the assigned District Judge Richard M. Berman.   One of the defendants was ordered free on bail - but the US Attorney's Office appealed to Judge Berman, who had stayed it pending his review.   The overall case is USA v. Morris, et al., 1:26-cr-207 (Berman / Cave) *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
