SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 2 –
Christopher
Smith is
charged with
being a felon
in possession
of ammunition.
But on
February 2,
speaking for
himself, he
said there is
no solid
evidence.
Smith was
indicted,
sealed, on
December 15,
2022. It was
unsealed and
he was
detailed on
January 25.
On
February 2 he
appeared
before U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams.
Inner City
Press went and
covered
it.
Judge
Abrams set a
May 1 trial
date, and
motions before
then.
Then
Smith raised
his hand and
was allowed to
speak. He said
there is no
evidence, he
would like to
go home.
A
hearing to
review the
detention
decision was
set for
February 15 at
10 am.
The
case is US v.
Smith,
22-cr-685
(Abrams)
