COURTROOM EXCLUSIVE, Nov 2
- In the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District
of New York on November 2, three
defendants in a Colombian
narco-trafficking case were
brought before Judge Gregory H.
Woods. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
courtroom.
Once the
defendants were placed in the
jury box, each with a US
Marshal behind him, the
prosecutor said their drugs
and weapons conspiracy
involved not only Colombia and
Ecuador but also Austria;
trading of cocaine for weapons
including hand grenades were
described.
The three
defense lawyers agreed that
they would need sixty days or
more to review discovery. The
next conference was set for
February 7, 2023 at 11 am,
with the possibility of
adjourning if review of
discovery in the MDC proves
still difficult.
The case is US v.
Rodriguez Tapia, 22-cr-532
