SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 21 – Reinaldo
Roman was
indicted in
February in
connection
with the
distribution
through Bronx
auto body
shops of
heroin,
fentanyl and
five kilograms
of cocaine. In
the
Magistrates
Court of the
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York on
April 5, he
was ordered
detained
pending trial
or
disposition,
based on the
risk of danger
to the
community.
On October 21
Reinaldo Roman
was due back
in the SDNY
Magistrates
Court to plead
guilty to the
lesser
included
charge, with
the five kilos
of cocaine no
longer
mentioned. But
he was brought
in late.
It turns out
that the
Bureau of
Prison has
referenced the
first and last
names of
Reinaldo Roman
making his
hard to fine.
His lawyer
told
Magistrate
Judge Debra
Freeman that
while he had
gone over the
plea prior to
the delayed
proceeding, he
had not had
the time he
usual spent.
During the
allocution at
several points
Reinaldo Roman
asked for
questions to
be repeated,
or said "I'm
not following
you."
Ultimately he
said yes and
pled guilty to
conspiracy to
distribute
heroin and
fentanyl. The
government
never
summarized
what evidence
it would have
shown at
trial.
Judge Kimba M.
Wood has yet
to sent the
sentencing
date for
Reinaldo
Roman, so a
control date
of January 21
was set. The
case is US
v. Reinaldo
Roman,
19-cr-116
(Wood).
