Gun Trafficking Case Grows from 6 to 8 Defendants 1 Released 2d Must Find 2 Signers by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 31 – A six-defendant gun trafficking case on August 31 grew to eight defendants. Two more were added in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court.   The original complaint in the case describes the sale of guns from South Carolina in The Bronx. The case was wheeled about to District Judge Katherine Polk Failla, and has a pre-scheduled status conference set for September 23.   Of the two new defendants, one was in red and black checkered pants and top on Monday. He is required to come up with two co-signers on his $50,000 bond before being released.   The other was released on Monday on $75,000 bond, to come up with co-signers later.    The overall case is USA v. Respress, et al., 1:26-cr-252 (Failla) *** 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.
