For Gun and Pot Unique Chavis Gets 36 Months in SDNY As CJA Counsel Cites Discrimination

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 14 – Unique Chavis was arrested on August 5, 2019 with a gun and bags of marijuana. He has been detained since. On August 14, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Denise L. Cote held an in-person sentencing. Inner City Press covered it.  

  Chavis' Criminal Justice Act lawyer Anthony Cecutti, both in an August 7 sentencing submission and on August 14, argued for a sentence of Time Served, citing "the racial traumas he has sustained along with his experience of systemic racism as a young Black man."  

Judge Cote listened and said but for COVID-19 she would have imposed a longer sentence. As it was and is, she sentenced Unique Chavis to 36 months and three years of supervised release.

This may be contrasted to a sentence later in the day for a cooperator, a sentence which hours later was and is as of this writing not in the docket.

The case is US v. Chavis, 19-cr-620 (Cote)
