SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 22 – Kevin Mora was
set to be sentenced on
November 22 for distributing
crack and cocaine in The
Bronx' 46th Precinct. While
not included in the plea, he
and his brother Arturo Mora
also used firearms and for
example punched two victims in
the face on East 174th Street
and Eastburn Avenue.
But U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Denise L. Cote agreed to the
complete sealing of Kevin
Mora's sentencing
submission dated November 8.
Not the redaction of the names
of minors as provided for by
room, but the entire
submission missing from the
public docket.
How is the public
to know the basis for the
sentencing?
For now all the
public knows of the submission
comes from selective
quotations from the November
15 submission by the US
Attorney's Office, represented
at sentencing by Assistant US
Attorney Maurene Comey, for
example that "the defendant
was not in constant financial
distress or living at the
fringes of the community, as
his submission contends."
What submission?
There follow in
the government's November 15
letter, Document 157 in the
docket, Instagram photographs
of Kevin Mora a/k/a
Jaffy with gold chains and
carrying an automatic weapon
and wads of cash. So what
arguments are viewable only by
Judge Cote and the US
Attorney's Office, but not the
public? Inner City Press aims
to have more on this. The case
is US v. Kevin Mora,
18-cr-749 (Cote).
