SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 19 – Mario De la
Rosa came to plead guilty to
robbing two bodegas back in
August.
On December 18
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John P. Cronan held the
change of plea proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
In advance, Judge
Cronan had raised the issue of
a typo or error in the plea
agreement, regarding USSG
2B3.1(b)(2)C) regarding
brandishing of a dangerous
weapon.
The parties
agreed it was an error and
asked Judge Cronan to just
amend it.
During the
allocution another question
arose, whether by admitting to
robbing a bodega, that was
sufficient to be pleading to
use of force.
Eventually Judge
Cronan genially accepted the
plea, and set sentencing for
March 25 at 10 am.
The case is USA
v. Martinez et al., 20-cr-537
(Cronan)
