From Valhalla Jeezy Mula Pleads Not Guilty Again As Dajahn McBean Before Judge Sullivan

BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 26– Brooklyn rapper Dajahn McBean, also known as Jeezy Mula, in a June 26 video court appearance resisted the mention of William Valdez and did not want the charges against him to be read out loud.

  The proceeding was held by Judge Richard J. Sullivan, now on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals but still handling a number of other cases still on his docket covered by Inner City Press, which covers this one too, live tweeted:

Judge Sullivan: Mr. McBean appeared before me and denied the violations, and asked for a stay pending resolution of the state charges. I heard he pled guilty to assault and is awaiting sentencing.

McBean: Excuse me your honor, if I already talked about the charges with my lawyer, do you have to read them?

Judge Sullivan: I want to make a record. You interacted with William Valdez. Do you admit or deny that allegation?

McBean: I deny.

 Judge Sullivan: There's also conspiracy to commit bank fraud. This is also before Judge Failla. McBean: I deny. Judge Sullivan: Also aggravated identity theft. McBean: Also denied.

Judge Sullivan: I'll ask for periodic updates, every 30 days or so. Any questions Mr. McBean?

McBean: No your Honor.

 Judge Sullivan: Hopefully this COVID thing will work itself out and we'll be back in court in person soon.

This case is US v. McBean, 17-cr-216 (Sullivan).

On May 8 McBean was late for a video proceeding before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Katharine Polk Failla.

 And McBean wasn't late by choice. He is in Westchester County Jail in Valhalla, and the video connection was late.

  When he got on, he pleaded not guilty to bank fraud charged in a case filed in 2020, but which dates back to allegations in 2018 and early 2019.

  Assistant US Attorney Andrew Chan told Judge Failla that of four smartphone seized in January 2019, law enforcement has only been able to crack one of them.

Still, both McBean and his co-defendant William Valdez are purchasing 1-terabyte hard drive have the discovery material burned onto them.

   Judge Failla said she will inform Judge Richard J. Sullivan, now on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals but who is still handling a McBean case and a number of other cases still on his docket covered by Inner City Press, of the day's proceedings. That case is 20-cr-226, US v. McBean (Failla).
