SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 17 –
Derrick
Parsons got
out of jail in
June 2022 but
felt immediate
danger to
himself and
his mother.
His brother
Davin has
testified as a
cooperating
witness in a
murder and
racketeering
case.
Derrick
Parsons got a
gun, and got
arrested.
On February
17, 2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Jed S. Rakoff
held his
sentencing.
Inner City
Press went and
covered it, as
one of only
two people in
the courtroom
gallery. The
other was
Derrick's
mother.
Derrick
Parsons,
speaking for
himself, said
that when he
got out he
checked in
with Probation
within the
required 72
hours and
asked them to
relocate him
and his
months. He was
told, That
will take
time.
That's
why he got a
gun, he said.
Judge Rakoff
said the best
defense was
the one
asserted by
the defendent
himself. He
imposed a
sentence of 24
months, with
two years of
supervised
release to
follow with
the search
condition.
Derrick
Parson's
lawyer asked
that he not be
placed near
New York but
rather Memphis
and/or Atlanta
- and not
after the hard
jail time to
any halfway
house, but to
home
detention.
The
case is US v.
Parsons,
22-cr-516
(Rakoff)
