Freeman Facing Trial on Fraud Seeks Suppression After Being Told to Advocate

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 18 – Celvin Freeman, originally from Ghana, is charged with a series of frauds against individuals and business. Now he wants to suppress his statements to law enforcement.      

  On August 17, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff held an oral argument. Inner City Press covered it.

  Freeman's lawyer noted that those who interrogated him told him it was up to him to advocate for himself, and that whoever cooperated first would get the best deal. 

 The Assistant US Attorney said the "advocacy" language had been about cutting the first deal, not giving up the right to a lawyer.

Judge Rakoff committed to decising the issue by September 15, with the trial penciled in for November 8 pending the SDNY Committee.

The case is US v. Freeman, 21-cr-88 (Rakoff)
