SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 6 –
The rapper
Taxstone,
Darryl
Campbell, is
on trial for
the May 25,
2016 murder of
Ronald McFatter
and shooting
of rapper Troy
Ave, Roland
Collins.
On
March 6,
2023, Inner
City Press
again went to
cover the
trial in 111
Centre Street,
before Judge
Abraham Clott.
Evidence was
entered
about the guns
recovered in
Irving Plaza,
which were in
turn given
operability
tests. There
was the
bullet removed
from Roland
Collins legs -
and,
strangely, the
cataloguing
of boxer
shorts and white
T-shirts. Much
of this came
up in
stipulations
agreed to by
the defense, testimony
of retired
NYPD
detectives.
Passed
4 pm Judge
Clott called
it a day and
let the jury
go. Then he
held a whispered
sidebar with
the lawyers previewing
arguments
about "the
Rikers calls."

After
the jury left
Taxstone was
handcuffed
behind his
back and led
out.
He
has a Federal
case as well,
which Inner
City Press is
also
covering
