SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 26 – Jaime Rodriguez was
given a lengthy sentence in a
case begun in 1994 including
on firearms charge.
The case is so
old that the indictment and
even the 1996 trial documents
are not in PACER. But the
Supreme Court's Davis decision
led in April 2020 to moves to
re-sentence him.
On May 26 his
original judge Charles S.
Haight held a proceeding which
Inner City Press covered.
Judge Haight explained his
reasoning, as he had in 2020
WL 1878112, and re-sentenced
Rodriguez to time served. He
ordered him to be released,
and wished him well.
He did the same
in the afternoon for
co-defendant Steven Camacho.
The case is US v. Rodriguez,
94-cr-313 (Haight).
Back on May 7 Steven Camacho
appeared by phone his
sentencing judge Charles S.
Haight, now posted in the
District of Connecticut.
Inner City
Press covered it. It was
for re-sentencing. Camacho
since his crime at 22 years
old has taken 3000 hours of
classes, everyting between
film theory (which he taught)
to the stock
market. The
government argued that his
sentence should remain.
The Federal
Defender emphasized he is no
longer the same man after 26
years. Judge
Haight, polite through out
including to the Press, said
he would reserve decision and
asked that the transcript be
ordered. The case is US v.
Camacho, 14-cr-4846
(Haight).
