SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 12– Maurice Hicks came to
plead guilty on October 12 to
being a felon in possession of
a firearm.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held
the change of plea proceeding
at 2:30 pm. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Woods
pushed an unrelated civil
matter from 3 pm to 3:30 pm,
for what he called an emergent
matter in a criminal case:
this one. There is mandatory
remand after a conviction or
guilty plea as a felon in
possession of a
firearm.
Hicks'
lawyer said he has been having
epileptic seizures, and that
she will be asking at
sentencing for no jail time.
The Assistant US Attorney said
his Office was not asking a
change of bail conditions -
that is, not asking for
remand.
Judge Woods
methodically asked for
evidentiary bases to not
follow the presumption (or
mandatory remand). There were
two US Marshals in the back of
the courtroom gallery, where
Inner City Press was.
Judge Woods ruled
that Hicks can remain out on
bond, while warning him if he
does not return for sentencing
he can be arrested and
imprisoned for bail
jumping.
The case is US v.
Hicks, 21-cr-674 (Woods)
