Among 12 Charged With Hobbs Act Robbery & Drugs Crosky Pleads & Another Comes In

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

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 10 –  More than a dozen defendants are charged in a Hobbs Act robbery and narcotics conspiracy.    

      On June 14, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

 With so many defendants and counsel, the roll-call took a long time. It emerged that Levalle Maitland, in pre-trial detention in the Essex County Correctional Facility, had not been produced, and his lawyer said he couldn't reach him. It was decided to go forward.  

 Three trial dates were selected, splitting the group or conspiracy in two: March 28, 2022 for some, May 16 for others, and June 20 for still others.

On January 5, 2022 Judge Hellerstein heard oral argument on possibly releasing co-defendant Nathaniel Croskey on bond. But Judge Hellerstein pointed out, as the AUSA did, that Croskey had fired a gun 10 times in the air; he said that the danger could not be addressed even by GPS monitoring.

  On March 10 Judge Hellerstein accepted Croskey's guilty plea. And later on March 10 - past six pm, with Inner City Press the only media in the Magistrates Court - another co-defendant in the case was brought in. His lawyer consented to detention, "without prejudice." The trial is coming.

The overall case is US v. Spearman, et al., 20-cr-631 (Hellerstein)
