SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 16 – Kenyatta Brown was on
supervised release with the
COVID-19 pandemic reached New
York. He had been working at
CitiField in Queens as a cook,
and elsewhere at restaurant.
Amid
lock-downs he lost both jobs
and soon, violating
supervision, he was in jail.
On
February 16, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Andrew L. Carter held a change
of plea and sentencing
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Brown
pleaded guilty to
Specification 5, leaving
Odysee House.
Talk turned to a
time served sentence. But
Judge Carter, as he has
before, showed detailed
concern for how and to whom
Brown would be released.
It was
explained that, from
Unemployment, Brown has the
cash to rent a room for $100 a
night until the in-patient
drug treatment spot opens up.
He can call a cab
or Uber to pick him up at
Essex County Correctional
Facility. He said they will
give him a mask and other PPE.
Judge
Carter said Brown should be
released on February 17, with
one year of supervision.
The case is US v.
Brown, 20-cr-307 (Carter)
