SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 18 – Erickson Hernandez
Almonte pleaded guilty in a
case involving drug dealing in
a Queens, New York apartment.
On March
18, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Denise L. Cote held
a sentencing. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
guideline, which the US
Attorney's Office was asking
for, was 168 to 210 months.
Almonte's lawyer citing a
proffer that his client had
made.
Judge Cote
sentenced Almonte to 84
months. That the AUSA asked to
seal or redact the parts of
the transcript of the public
proceeding dealing with the
proffer.
There are things
that Inner City Press is
voluntarily not reporting. But
what is the sense of redacting
the transcript of a proceeding
that itself was not sealed,
and was open to the public and
Press? And why was this case
brough by SDNY and not EDNY?
Questions, questions. This
case is US v. Almonte, 20-cr-7
(Cote)
