SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 15 – Andrew Scott, in New
York State prison after
conviction for second degree
murder, filed a federal habeus
corpus lawsuit.
On
September 14, 2023 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Andrew L. Carter held a
proceeding to explain to Scott
what his options are. Inner
City Press was there.
Judge
Carter said one of the claims
would have to be dismissed, or
Scott could proceed in state
court and later refile his
federal case.
Scott
asked, Who do I tell about
corruption in the prison?
Judge
Carter asked the government
lawyer, who replied they had
nothing to say. Nothing at
all. Judge Carter suggested
NYLAG.
A letter
is due before October 16. The
case is Scott v. James,
20-cv-7808 (Carter)
