SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 18 – Shaquille Perkins
was accused of being a felon
in possession of a firearm.
Then on June 18 on an alleged
violation of supervised
release he came before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge William H. Pauley III.
Inner City Press
covered it. Perkins'
Federal Defense said it's the
stress of the prosecution. "We
are all under stress these
days. On the spectrum of
violations, this is more
damaging to him than the
public. Counselor wrote a
letter."
Judge Pauley:
Officer Rothman says on June 3
your client went to Lexington
Avenue in Harlem where he
spent two hours. What was he
doing?
Federal Defender:
It's hard not to take a break
and speak with Mr. Perkins
then respond. He hasn't
followed the rules to the
T.
AUSA: These are
serious charges. The two hours
detour is of concern. The
government will not not ask
for remand. We hope this is an
aberration. Judge
Pauley: Mr.
Perkins, have you been
listening?
Perkins: Yes,
very intently.
Judge Pauley: It
is disturbing when a person on
pre-trial release does not
comply. You have got to fully
comply, only travel to and
from your therapy session
without any excuses. Some of
the excuses in the report
sound very lame to me. I do
not find them credible.
Judge
Pauley: GPS does not lie. It
tells us where you were. You
say you were not in a park.
But GPS says you were. You
have a road to climb with the
court. You need steady
adherence.. Prozak for
stress.. We are all under
stress. I do not want you to
disappoint
me.
From the docket:
"It is unlikely a venire can
be summoned any sooner than
trial date of October 5,
2020."
The case is US v.
Perkins,19-cr-705 Pauley).
