After Bronx Playground Shooting Joseph Faced Superseding Indictment Now Gets 22 Years

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

SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 30 – Nicholas Joseph is charged as part of Bronx drug conspiracy that had a shoot-out in a playground in Castle Hill in which a 12-year old was injured.  

    On January 4, 2021 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge P. Kevin Castel held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

  Joseph wanted to be released on $250,000 bond, to his mother's house in Pennsylvania. Judge Castel declined, but set a next conference for March 3.

Now on January 7, AUSA Andrew Chan has written to Judge Castel that "earlier today a grand jury returned a superseding indictment which includes a second count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition." They want Joseph to be arraigned on this new charge on March 3, saying that "defense counsel previously voiced no objection to the exclusion of time [under the Speedy Trial Act] until March 3."

Jump cut to June 30, 2022: "NICHOLAS JOSEPH, a/k/a “Gotti,” a/k/a “Finesse,” was sentenced today to 22 years in prison in connection with his participation in the Castle Hill Crew, a violent street gang based in the Castle Hill Houses in the Soundview neighborhood of the Bronx, including for his role in the shooting of a 12-year old child on April 28, 2017, narcotics trafficking, firearms offenses, fraud, and other acts of violence.  U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel imposed today’s sentence."

The case is US v. Joseph, 20-cr-603 (Castel)
