SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 8 – Lasyah Palmer was
sentenced to 24 months in
prison in a narcotics
racketeering case in 2019.
He was arrested
on a violation of supervised
release on July 11, 2023 and
admitted to the specification
on August 16.
Having been
in detention, he was released
on that date pending
sentencing. Then
he was arrested again, for
allegedly violation an order
of protection and sending
threats.
On
August 25, 2023 Palmer was
brought before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
and, through stand-in counsel,
requested release on bond.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the SDNY Mag
court.
Judge
Netburn said she had no
confidence Palmer would not
violation his conditions of
release again.
He was detained,
and is schedule to be before
Judge Cote in the week of
September 5.
This occurred on
September 8, and Inner City
Press was there. Palmer wanted
to be sentenced, but did not
want to admit to the
specifications. His CJA lawyer
said he wasn't comfortable
that any admission would be
knowing, so a November 2
hearing was set. Then Palmer
dissed the lawyer, who said he
had never before by a client
been told "I'm going to slap
the sh*t out of you;" he asked
to be relieved.
He was,
and Judge Cote said that a new
lawyer would be appointed. She
added that everyone in her
courtroom must speak with
respect. Palmer spoke for
himself, that he'd already
told the lawyer he wanted him
off the case. He was led away.
The case
is US v. Holman, et al.,
18-cr-41-17 (Cote)
