SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 27 – Eric Cherry entered a
guilty plea in September 2019
to charges of robbing a
jewelry store 10 minutes from
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York courthouse, and firing a
gun outward through the
store's glass window into the
street. He is awaiting
sentencing.
On April 13
Cherry's lawyer Glenn A.
Garber argued that he be
released on bail, before SDNY
Chief Judge Colleen McMahon.
Bail was denied, but Chief
Judge McMahon urged that
Cherry's sentencing be
expedited so that he could be
sent to the Bureau of Prisons'
medical facilities at Devens
or Butner.
Chief Judge McMahon said that
after weeks of discussions
with the Bureau of Prisons,
cameras allowing for video
sentencing should be installed
in the Metropolitan
Correctional Center and the
Metropolitan Detention Center
in Brooklyn, where Cherry is.
She added
that there will be slots of
SDNY sentencings in the MDC on
Tuesday and Thursdays at 9 am,
10:30 am and noon. It was
unclear to Inner City Press,
which reported on April 13 on
this telephone proceeding as
well as on a sentencing,
what the provision for media
coverage of SDNY video
sentencings will be. We will
continue to report on this.
This case is US v. Cherry,
18-cr-786 (McMahon).
