SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan31 – Andrew Affredou was
arrested in connection with
the overdose of Christopher
Matrisciani on July 2, 2019 in
a hotel room in
Manhattan.
On
September 29, 2023, Affredou
came without notice before

Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang
to plead guilty to a lesser
included offense, crack
dealing. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag court.
Affredou,
who had faced trial, got a
plea deal for 8 to 14 months,
no appeal if below 27 months.
He took it. The sentencing is
set for February 5, 2024 at 11
am.
On January 9,
2024 Christopher
Mastrisciani's mother Sandra
wrote to Judge Broderick about
Affredou asking for the
maximum sentence. She
described her son, who began
addicted while recovering from
a crushed ankle, was assigned
to a badly run halfway house
in Bushwick and was attending
Berkley College. She attached
photographs.
On January 31,
the US Attorney's Office wrote
in, requesting... 24 months.
The sentencing is set for
February 5.
The case is
US v. Affredou, 22-cr-238
(Broderick / Wang)
