Man Who Mailed Some 500 Turtles to China and Killed Some Gets Year in Jail in EDNY

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell book
BBC - Honduras - CIA Trial book - NY Mag

EDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 29 – For smuggling over 500 Eastern Box Turtle from Queens to China and Hong Kong, and thereby killing some of them, Chu Sen Guan was set to be sentenced on September 29 by U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall.

 Inner City Press, now covering EDNY, went to the sentencing. When it walked into the fourth floor courtroom, there was no one there except a Court Security Office. At defense table, Chu Sen Guan has an interpreter, and his lawyer. 

 His brother, described as less culpable by the judge, was sentenced to a year and a day, which allow the term to be shorted for "good time."

Chu Sen Guan faced more time, as the organizer, who had $10,000 cash in his apartment at the time of arrest and a leased BMW with no visible means of (legitimate) support. 

  He was sentenced to a year - the "and a day" wasn't given, so a longer sentence than his brother.

The Probation officer stepped out into the hall to use her cell phone to call for an answer. Inner City Press, unlike other media on the EDNY courthouse covering the US v. Thomas Barrack trial, has to leave its phone in the lobby, though it has for more than a week applied to the Office of District Executive Eugene J. Corcoran to be treated equally, see here. 

 The surrender date is January 2, 2023.
