Bronxite Gamoneda Lost Bail Hearing Now Pleads Guilty in SDNY

BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 15 – Marvin Gamoneda was arrested on February 12, 2020 as part of a Bronx drug gang case and has been detained since in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan.

    On April 10 amid the COVID-19 pandemic his lawyer argued for his release, saying among other things that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons is underperforming and that the MCC is a "Petri dish" for the virus.

  His lawyer told U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl that the MCC says they have capacity for 40 legal calls a day, for all inmates. That is not enough.  Just because we're all overwhelmed doesn't mean we can rip up the Constitution. Mr Gamoneda deserves at least one legal call a week.  

   US Attorney Andrew Andrew Chan said that Gamoneda is a member of the "Woodycrime" gang in The Bronx; he is responsible for a shooting in a playground [the Nelson Playground] full of men, women and children. 

 Judge Koeltl asked, He got 1 to 3 years in 2013? And the others were all related to marijuana?    AUSA Chan replied, Yes. But while in jail he planned what to do once he got out...

  Judge Koeltl ultimately ruled that the government has shown there are no combination of condition that could reasonably assure the presence of the defendant. The charges are serious and the evidence seems strong, of a substantial narcotics conspiracy and guns, and a shooting. 

  On March 15, Gamoneda pleaded guilty, and Inner City Press covered it. Judge Koeltl ordered, " The case against Luilly Fernandez is severed from the case against Marvin Gamoneda. The schedule with respect to Marvin Gamoneda remains unchanged. The Court will hold a status conference for the case against Luilly Fernandez on May 3, 2021 at 9:00 am."

  Later the US Attorneys' Office press office put out a press release; no notice of the guilty plea was given in advance, as the EDNY office gives.

This case is US v. Gamoneda, 20-cr-109 (Koeltl).
