COURTHOUSE,
Sept 4 – A man arrested for
selling a kilo of heroin to a
Confidential Source in New
York in June came to plead
guilty on September 4 before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge George B. Daniels. Inner
City Press was
there.
The
complaint recounts that in a
Mirandized post-arrest
statement, the defendant said
the key recovered from his
backpack was the key to the
storage unit he had just
visited and that the storage
unit was his.
Judge
Daniels told him there would
be immigration consequences.
The allocution
was interpreted as "July
2024," which the Federal
Defender corrected to "June
2024." Sentencing was
set for January 8, 2025 at 10
am.
The case is
US v. Ochoa, 24-cr-393
(Daniels)
