For Selling Drugs and Using Gun On Elliot Place In The Bronx Man Gets 5 Years in SDNY

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 4 – Nicholas Falu was up for sentencing on December 7, 2020 after pleading guilty to selling oxy and pot on Elliot Place in the Bronx near Walton Avenue.   

  On December 7 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York  Judge Sidney H. Stein  held the sentencing. Inner City Press covered it.  

The US Attorney was asking for 37 to 46 months. Judge Stein asked questions, including his now standard Why did you do it? He likes an honest answer.

He told Falu, I think you are going to be OK, and sentenced him to a year and a day, saying that would work out to 10 months.

Now on May 4, in the same overall case, Judge Stein held a sentencing for Omar Baez. He was described as second in command, and as having shot a gun. Judge Stein said he was leaning to an upward adjustment.

 But after Baez spoke, including about taking GED classes in the MDC in Brooklyn (which he called "better than the MCC"), Judge Stein went with the mandatory minimum, five years.  He wished the defendant well.

The case is US v. Baez, 19-cr-795 (Stein)
