Ex NYPD Ed Mullins In Plea Talks After Got Discovery Seized From PBA HQ, Next Is Sept 8

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

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 13 – In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 23, a detention or release proceeding was held by Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein on former NYPD Sargeant and union official Ed Mullins, who was released on $250,000 personal recognizance bond and had no comment (unlike Sarah Palin) out on Worth Street.

Another condition of release: "no contact with members / officers of SBA relating to the allegations in the Information."

  The US Attorney's Office says, "Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced today that EDWARD D. MULLINS, the former President of the Sergeants Benevolent Association (“SBA”), the union that represents all current and former Sergeants of the New York City Police Department, was charged with one count of wire fraud in connection with a scheme to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from the SBA, through the submission of fraudulent expense reports.  MULLINS surrendered to the FBI in Manhattan this morning, and was presented before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein.  The case has been assigned to United States District Judge John G. Koeltl."

On March 17, Inner City Press went to cover the case before Judge Koeltl and live tweeted, here:

OK - for NYPD's Mullins, now outside Judge's door for listed 2:30 proceeding. Three prosecutors here.  But it's locked.

Now in courtroom, Mullins and two lawyers, one in a 3-piece suit. He's Mark Mukasey.  All rise!

AUSA says parties agree to 45 day continuance, for discovery seized from SBA HQ under warrants.

Judge: So conference in 60 some days. Mukasey: Mr Mullins was a cop for 40 years and honorably for most of it.

On July 13, Judge Koeltl held another conference in the case, and Inner City Press covered and live tweeted it, here:

OK - now US v. Ed Mullins. Assistant US Attorney: The parties are working toward a pre-trial disposition in this matter. So please set the next date 45 days out. We'll be able to update then. Defense counsel: That's accurate.

 Judge Koeltl: The Court doesn't get involved in pre-trial disposition, that's up to defendant with advice of counsel. Next date: Sept 13 at 4:30?

Defense counsel Marc Mukasey : I have a trial before Judge Ramos on Sept 12 that is mostly certainly going. [US v. Trevor Milton, which Inner City Press is also covering]

Court: So, Sept 8 at 2 pm. 

AUSA: That's fine.

Judge Koeltl: Speedy Trial Act time will be excluded. We are adjourned.

The case is US v. Mullins, 22-cr-120  (Koeltl).
