COURTHOUSE,
April 10 – Jonathan Torres is
on trial, the first of two
this month. On April 10 before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltl, jurors
were shown text messages with
objections sustained to
explaining what "WYA"
means. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the courtroom.
The
prosecution's expert witness
Alfred Hernandez testified how
crack is sold.
The complaint
describes a vial full of crack
found incident to arrest, in
the 40th Precinct in The
Bronx. There have been
suppression motions, and there
will be a second trial right
after, starting April 15.
The case is
US v. Torres, 23-cr-395
(Koeltl)
