SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 12 – Elvis Guerrero and
others were indicted on
charges of gun trafficking
from Maine to the Dominican
Republic.
On June
12, 2023, U.S. District Court
of for the Southern District
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang
took Guerrero's guilty plea.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the SDNY Mag
Court.
The plea
deal is for a 78 to 96 month
sentencing guideline. As
described by the AUSA, the
guns were to go through Red
Hook - in Brooklyn, that is,
the EDNY -- but through waters
over which the SDNY says it
has jurisdiction.
Guerrero's
Federal Defender consented to
venue; despite the AUSA's
suggested questions, he did
not name his
co-conspirator(s).
On
September 7, for Guerrero's
co-defendant Jenyni True,
defense counsel asked for a
year and a day, citing
"promises of easy money,
exciting new romance and an
escape from the back waters of
rural Maine."
The case is
US v. Guerrero, et al.,
22-cr-629 (Castel / Wang)
