In SDNY Silvestre Mahon Not Detained Pending Sentencing Citing Rare Disease

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 13 – Silvestre Mahon, charged in a narcotics conspiracy, got a plea deal for up to 87 months imprisonment from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

  The question of detention pending sentencing arose after Mahon allocuted to the plea on December 13 before SDNY Judge Valerie E. Caproni.

    Mahon's lawyer Xavier R. Donaldson urged that he not be put in detention because he has a "severe and rare disease." Donaldson said that while the docket in the case is not sealed, these filing are not there.

   In fact, unlike his co-defendants, even the letter setting Mahon's change of plea does not appear in the public docket, even five hours after he pled guilty.

  Assistant US Attorney Adam S. Hobson said Mahon's family situation was not a grounds for non-detention, but that since he didn't know much about the disease he would leave it up to the Court.

   Judge Caproni said that since the disease is rare, it will take time for the Bureau of Prisons to prepare. She did not order detention. Mahon's sentencing is set for April 3, 2020. The case is US v. Mahon, 19-cr-212 (Caproni).
