SDNY COURT
EXCLUSIVE, August 12 – The
four defendants detained for
the death of Michael K.
Williams were presented in
court on August 12. Inner City
Press was the only media in
the courtroom.
On August
12, 2022 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Ronnie Abrams
held an in-person proceeding.
Inner City Press went and
covered it.
There were four
defense lawyers, and three of
the defendants.
It was
said that one of the defense
lawyers could not start a
trial earlier than July 15,
2023. Judge Abrams said that
was too slow, and defendants
nodded. One of them was
resisting wearing his COVID
mask.
A trial
date of May 15, 2023 was
selected. Then the three
defendant, in yellow prison
jumpsuits, were led to the
elevators of 40 Foley Square.
Previously SDNY
said IRVIN CARTAGENA, a/k/a
“Green Eyes,” was charged in a
criminal complaint unsealed
yesterday in Manhattan federal
court with a narcotics
conspiracy in which he
distributed the fentanyl-laced
heroin that resulted in the
death of Michael K.
Williams. In another
criminal complaint unsealed
today, co-conspirators HECTOR
ROBLES, a/k/a “Oreja,” LUIS
CRUZ, a/k/a “Mostro,” and
CARLOS MACCI, a/k/a “Carlito,”
were charged as members of the
fentanyl and heroin
conspiracy. CARTAGENA
was arrested in Puerto Rico
yesterday and is expected to
be presented tomorrow in
federal court in Puerto
Rico. ROBLES, CRUZ, and
MACCI were arrested.
And still
detained. The case is USA v.
Cartagena, et al., 22-cr-92
