SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 2 – Charkeem Payne was
charged as part of a narcotics
conspiracy, specifically to
sell crack.
On September 2,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Denise L. Cote got a
letter seeking a delay in
sentencing in light of pending
legislation that, like this
case, Inner City Press
is covering.
Payne had
a sentencing set for September
17. But his lawyer, as well as
travel, cites DOJ's statement
to the Senate Committe[e] on
the Judiciary on June 22, 2021
on "Examining Federal
Sentencing for Crack and
Powder Cocaine." Watch this
site.
As
noted about this case in
January, while one of his
co-defendants is seeking to
suppress evidence of
conversations intercepted
through Title III wiretaps,
Stewart pleaded guilty.
Then there was
reference to a previous
request to have the Bureau of
Prison deal with an issue
involving medical
undergarments, which BOP still
has not done. A medical order
was requested.
The case is US v.
Disla, 20-cr-52 (Cote)
