SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 21 – Lyith Brandon Gill
was arrested and detained on
July 21 in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York. SDNY
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses
held a proceeding late on July
21, and Inner City Press live
tweeted it:
Judge Moses told
AUSA Balsamello, "You need a
haircut."
Gill is
complaining about handcuffs.
Judge Moses asks the Marshals
for the handcuffs to be
removed. Gill thanks
her.
AUSA Balsamello:
The arrest was today at 11
am.
Assigned (or, to
be assigned) CJA lawyer says
she spoke with Mr. Gill
several times by phone,
starting around 1 pm.
Defendant Gill
says he has made $5000 in the
last year - with music.
Judge Moses: No stocks or
bonds? Gill: None. Judge
Moses: And your phone bill is
$30 a month? Gill: Yes,
Ma'am.
Judge Moses: If
you win the Lotto, let your
lawyer know. You are charged
only in Counts 18 and 19 -
conspiracy to distribute crack
and heroin, and knowingly
using and carrying firearms,
some brandished and
discharged.
Gill: Not guilty.
His lawyer says
he is "consenting to detention
at this time."
Next court
date: Sept 8 before Judge
Oetken. His lawyer: There's a
homicide count in the
indictment, and I'm not on the
Capital
panel. Judge
Moses: That's OK. We are
adjourned.
The overall case
is US v. Lawrence, 19-cr-761
(Oetken / Moses)
