SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 16 – A Desmond Brannon
was sentenced, for stealing
checks and paying homeless
people to cash altered
versions of them, to a year
and a day by U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
William H. Pauley III. That
was in 2018.
On May 22,
2020 Judge Pauley held a
telephone proceeding with
Brannon and Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Pauley
asked Brannon why he had not
followed up with Probation
about working for
FreshDirect.
Brannon explained
this in light of avoiding
COVID-19.
Judge Pauley
pointed out that other hard
working New Yorkers are riding
the subway and working.
Brannon said that
he is working, then that it is
an unpaid internship. Judge
Pauley expressed scepticism,
then asked Brannon why he was
snickering.
Brannon said it was a cough.
The next
conference was held on August
4, and Inner City Press again
covered it. It emerged that
the name is Desmond Scott, the
case was done "under an
a/k/a." Judge Pauley again
said that employment is
important. Brannon / Scott
said he is still concerned
about taking the subway, but
would do it to show Judge
Pauley something.
Jump cut to March
16, 2023; Brannon's case was
reassigned to Judge Gregory H.
Woods from Judge Pauley (RIP).
