SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Nov 6 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on August 16, two
arraignments in a single case
were held by Magistrate Judge
Barbara C. Moses.
The
defendants had been presented
and released on bond with GPS
bracelets in July. Now they
had been indicted.
The
lead defendant Axel Jesus
Cardona Cardona speaks
English. His co-defendant Cruz
Alejandro Baires Navoa
followed him in pleading not
guilty, but through an
interpreter.
They were
arrested in July and charged
with selling one brick of
cocaine in a parking lot in
the Bronx. The initial
complaint referred to Axel as
Alex, but that was fixed.
Now the
case has been assigned to
District Judge Torres.
Jump cut to
November 6 when the
prosecutors wrote in, before
Baires Novoa's November 14
sentencing, to ask for 37
months. For Carmona Carmona,
the US wanted 46 months.
On November 14,
Inner City Press attended the
sentencings. Carmona Carmona
had in the gallery his wife
and children, his business
partners and his family.
Through counsel, he denied
that there are removal
proceeding against him. Both
he and Baires Novoa got time
served and one year of
supervised release.
The case is US v.
Carmona Carmona, et al.,
22-cr-434 (Torres)
