SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 15 – Edwin Rodriguez was
arrested at 21 on gun charges
and jailed. Now on Supervised
Release he has been
re-sentenced twice, the second
time on July 15 by U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Federal
Defender Julia Gatto argued
that what Rodriguez needs is
drug treatment. Judge
Engelmayer largely agreed, but
quoted what he had told
Rodriguez on his last
violation of supervised
release: that he would be
jailed.
He already has
been jailed, for six weeks
now, amid the Coronavirus
pandemic. Judge Engelmayer
said if not for that, he would
likely have imposed six
months. As it was, he
sentenced Rodriguez to three
months, minus what he has
already served.
During the
proceeding, the court reporter
politely asked for a break to
urge a trespasser to leave her
yard. Judge Engelmayer asked,
Is the property as issue in
New Jersey? It's outside my
writ. (He sounded like he was
joking).
The case is US v.
Rodriguez, 14-cr-684
(Engelmayer)
