SDNY COURT
EXCLUSIVE, March 2 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on December 22, 2022 a
bail or remand proceeding was
held by Magistrate Judge
Gabriel W. Gorenstein on a 19
year old charged with armed
robbery of a smokeshop in The
Bronx on May 8, 2022 -- and
with having a gun in his
bedroom.

Counsel
for defendant Edwin Pozo said
his client's father is a
porter, who would sign a bond
for his son. Counsel for a
co-defendant argued that under
recent decisions in the
Second, Fourth and Eleventh
Circuits, Hobbs Act robbery
might no longer be deemed a
crime of violence.
But Pozo
was ordered detained, with a
next proceeding before Judge
Buchward to whom the case was
belatedly wheeled out.
On March 2, 2023
Judge Buchwald held a
proceeding on the three
defendants - Pozo still in
detention, the other two not -
and Inner City Press was
there.
The Assistant US
Attorney mentioned a fourth
defendant, Ebrima Darbo, who
pled guilty before Judge
Abrams. We aim to have more on
this.
This case is US
v. Pozo, 22-cr-702 (Buchwald /
Gorenstein)
