SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 12 – Christopher Pabey was
charged with throwing a bottle
full of gasoline, a Molotov
cocktail, at a building six
days after having through a
glass Champagne bottle at it.
But on November 12 in the
Magistrates Court of the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
the U.S. Attorney was deemed
not to have carried its burden
to detail the incindiary Mr.
Pabey. He was released, that
very night, to the custody of
his mother (he is 27 years
old). And hours after his
release, his case remained
sealed on PACER.
His
parents, it must be said,
waited all day in the Mag
Court. And his Federal
Defender told Magistrate Judge
Katharine H. Parker that it
was all due to bipolar
disorder, now controlled by an
injection. Judge Parker began
was asking about the victim,
the building owner, and ended
by freeing Pabey. Call it a
#MolotovMiracle. The case
number, still sealed as of
this writing past 9 pm, is
19-mj10593, presumably US v.
Pabey.
This is the benefit from
having a docket number,
unsealed case and complaint:
back on April 20, police set
up outside 931 East 181st
Street in The Bronx at 6:20
am, hoping to catch domestic
violence suspect Gilberto
Minaya on his way to work. As
he walked out then south on
Daly Avenue they apprehended
him from behind.
"You guys are good," he said.
"I didn't see you coming."
In
Minaya's waistband, they found
a gun, a .32 caliber
Ceska-Zbrojovka
semi-automatic, loaded and
operable.
Now
on November 12, Minaya
appeared in before Magistrate
Judge Katharine H. Parker of
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York to plead guilty.
He didn't
have a plea deal but only a
letter from the US Attorney's
Office estimating that his
sentencing guidelines, based
on having this gun after being
convicted of a felony in 2006,
would be between 37 and 46
months.
It is SDNY Chief Judge Colleen
McMahon who will sentence him,
on February 26. The case is US
v. Minaya, 19-cr-487 (McMahon
/ Parker).
