Millbrook Cooperator Joey Colon Gets Time Served In Rare Telephonic Sentencing in SDNY

BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 13 – In a rare felony sentencing conducted by telephone on April 13 cooperator Joey Colon was given a time served sentence in a drugs and guns conspiracy concerning the Millbrook Houses development in the South Bronx.    U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Analisa Torres, whose previous reflections on the history of the Millbrook Houses at sentencings Inner City Press has reported on, on April 7 cited Section 15002(b)(2) of the CARES Act in setting up the telephonic sentencing.     (On April 13 SDNY Chief Judge Colleen McMahon said that video cameras should be ready by April 14 in the MCC and MDC; their availability in the cooperators' private GEO prison in Queens is not clear to Inner City Press.)  On the April 13 telephone sentencing call, Colon's lawyer Camille M. Abate described Colon's childhood. At 12, he was "left alone in a two bedroom apartment in the Millbrook Houses." At 13, he was sentenced as a juvenile to 18 months incarceration.   In a separate filing Assistant US Attorney Jordan Este described to Judge Torres the founding of the "up the block" gang MBG of "Mill Brook Gangstas" (there is another name), and its bloody battles with "down the block" rival Killbrook.    Estes wrote, "MBG's rivalry with Killbrook began in 2007, after MBG member Joey Colon shot an individual from 'down the block.'" The government's 5K.1 letter, as of the time of the sentencing, was not part of the public docket, in which numbers 652, 632, 630, 612, 590 and 589 and before are sealed.     Judge Torres after announcing the time served sentence asked Mr. Colon to help turn other youths away from the wrong path, and wished him well. The case is US v. Colon, 17-cr-611 (Torres).
