Lamor Whitehead
was found guilty by the jury
on March 11, 2024, see below.
On March 25,
Whitehead's counsel filed
motions for acquittal,
including disputing which
Federal Reserve Bank was used
for purposes of venue, and/or
for a new trial.
On February 26,
2024 the trial started and
Inner City Press live tweeted
opening arguments, here
On February 27,
Pauline Anderson testified and
cried. Inner City Press live
tweeted, here
On February 28,
Rasheed Anderson was on
the stand - then after the
jury left, scheduling -
including witness who will
introduce Eric Adams'
communications - was
discussed.
On February 29:
"ORDER as to Lamor Whitehead.
It is hereby ORDERED that the
Brandon Belmonte shall testify
outside the presence of the
jury at 9:00 A.M. on March 5."
Inner City Press
went, and saw Belmonte take
the 5th to every question,
including about Eric Adams.
On March 11 Inner
City Press went.Here's from
the US rebuttal:
OK - now in US v
Lamor Whitehead rebuttal
summation, prosecutor says he
lied on the stand, that
blaming Rasheed was a
distraction.
AUSA: Whitehead
threatened Brandon Belmonte
with violence, to get money.
He said, "Eric Adams will do
what I want" but only if the
property was transferred to
him (Whitehead).
Then he lied to
the FBI.
AUSA: Whitehead
thought you could fool you too
- he is guilty as charged.
Then the case
went to the jury.
And a guilty
verdict: "Jury reached a
verdict. Defendant found
GUILTY on Counts 1s, 2s, 3s,
4s and 5s. PSR Ordered.
Defendants sentencing
submission shall be filed by
6/10/2024. The Governments
sentencing submission shall be
filed by 06/17/2024. The
parties shall appear for a
sentencing hearing on
07/01/2024 at 11:00 am"

In
EDNY, Inner City Press
reported on Whitehead
appearing in the Mag Court
there for two defendants who
robbed him of expensive
watched as he preached.
On January 12,
2024, the US Attorney's Office
filed a motion in limine
including as "examples of
trial evidence" quotes from
Whitehead to Victim-2 that
"I'll deal with the Mayor's
Office.. But we gotta have
ownership. I gotta be able to
say, 'Yo, yo [nickname for the
Official], I own this. This is
what's goin on."
The case is US v.
Whitehead, 22-cr-692
