SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 6 – Derian Del Carmen was
charged with six counts in a
narcotics conspiracy in The
Bronx.
On December 16,
he pleaded guilty to two
counts, 9 and 12.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge J. Paul Oetken held the
change of plea proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Judge Oetken
asked his age and education.
24, one year at Monroe
College.
[Update: Monroe
College wrote in calling the
above summary an "error." Here
is the formal now docketed transcript:
THE DEFENDANT: I
went to my third semester in
college.
THE COURT: Where
was that?
THE DEFENDANT:
Monroe College in The Bronx.]
Jump cut to May
6, 2025 when the US Attorney's
Office filed opposition with
Judge Oetken to a request for
bail in Del Carmen's new case,
denying his allegations of
mistreatment in the MDC.
Del
Carmen's lawyer wrote in on
April 10 that "on April 5,
Derian was assaulted by
multiple guards. Early in the
morning, Derian's cellmate was
informed that guards would be
coming to take him to the SHU
because of rumors that other
inmates intended to fight
him... They also ordered
Derian to dress and come with
him.. He was then
pepper-sprayed and assaulted."
The US
Attorney's Office denies it.
The first case
was US v. Del Carmen,
18-cr-669 (Oetken). This new
was is USA v. Del Carmen,
1:24-cr-601 (Oetken)
