NYC Worker Who Sold Gun For Synagogue Attack Pleads Guilty For 10 to 16 Month Deal

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book

SDNY COURT EXCLUSIVE, March 14 -  In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 2, a detention or bond proceeding was held by Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron on a man charged with selling guns to two men already in state custody for plans to "shoot up a synagogue," Christopher Brown, 21, and Matthew Mahrer, 22.

  Presented in Federal court on December 2 was defendant / gun-seller Jamil Hakime, who works with detained youth at the NYC Administration for Children's Services. Inner City Press was present, the only media (and only non-involved person) there. Live-tweeted thread (more on Patreon here) vlog here

Jump cut to January 24, 2023: the case has been indicted, and wheeled out to Judge Analisa Torres. She held a proceeding, and Inner City Press attended. Discovery is ongoing; the AUSA said the phones of the two co-conspirators are being reviewed and Hakime will get some but not all of it.

The Federal Defender said the proposed protective order is disputed; he will abide by it while Judge Torres considers the issue.

On March 13, Judge Torres docketed an order that Hakime is set to change to plea - that is, to guilty - on March 14: "ORDER as to Jamil Hakime: The Court shall hold a change of plea hearing for Defendant Jamil Hakime on March 14, 2023 (Signed by Judge Analisa Torres on 3/13/2023)."

Inner City Press went to the sentencing. The sentencing guideline agreed to is ten to sixteen months. Hakime described driving his co-conspirators to Pennsylvania to get the gun. The AUSA said the Pennsylvania house is co-owned by Hakime. There was not mention of what the gun was to be used for. Sentencing is set for July 18.

Inner City Press will continue to cover the case.

   Back from December 2, the thread.


The case is now US v. Hakime, 22-cr-699 (Torres)
