Alongside 6ix9ine As Cooperator Shotti Files Appeal After Sentenced To 15 Years

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon, Thread III
The Source - XXL - The Root - etc

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 21 – When Daniel Hernandez, better known as rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, finished three days of cooperating testimony for the government against his former partners in the Nine Trey Bloods gang, conviction seemed likely for defendants Aljermiah "Nuke" Mack and Anthony "Harv" Elisson.   Harv was caught on video apparently car-jacking Hernandez and his driver Jorge Rivera. Video here.

  Kifano "Shotti" Jordan has already been sentenced to 15 years, which Inner City Press covered before the trial began, here. Now we can report that Shotti has appealed his conviction, tweeted photo here, to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, also at 40 Foley Square. So far the actual arguments aren't in the court file.

  But Inner City Press will stay on this, as well as the trial and the expected 5K1 cooperator's letter for #6ix9ine. But will he get time served - or eleven years, like another cooperator recently. For now more on Patreon here.

Hernandez wants the all important 5K1 cooperation letter. Without it he faces a minimum of 47 years and maximum of life. But what will not only insulting the Bloods but also linking other rappers like Trippie Redd to the gang, things may be difficult in or out of jail.   On the third day of the trial it emerged that audio had been recorded of the begining of Hernandez' direct examination, apparently from inside the courtroom.

Judge Engelmayer prohibited any further entry of phones or other electronics.   The government's initial estimate of a two to three week trial now seemed too long. Prosecutor Michael Longyear told Judge Engelmayer the government might complete its case by Wednesday, September 25.

Inner City Press will continue to cover this and other SDNY and 2nd Circuit cases - watch this site, and there is more on Patreon, here.
