SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 28 – A
man charged
with threats
of physical
harm by
interstate
communications
was extradited
from Canada to
the US and on
June 16
demanded to
represent
himself.
Jeremy Joseph
appeared
in U.S.
District Court
of for the
Southern
District
of New York
Magistrates
Court, which
Inner City
Press covers.
SDNY
Magistrate
Judge Robert
W. Lehrburger
had Federal
Defenders
serve as
stand-by
counsel.
He (or they)
were to
re-appear that
afternoon
before
District Judge
J. Paul Oekten
at 4:30 pm.
Inner City
Press went
there, but the
door was
locked.
Subsequently,
the Assistant
US Attorney
wrote in that
the proceeding
will be on
June 23 (and
that Jeremy
Joseph also
faces charges
in Texas, with
a docket
number under
which his SDNY
5(f) order was
initially
mis-filed).
In the case of
James Garlick
pro se winning
a mistrial in
SDNY, Inner
City Press
will be
following this
pro se
criminal
case.
On
October 2, the
prosecutors
opposed Jeremy
Joseph's
objections to
their proposed
protective
order,
including to
material
designed
Attorneys Eyes
Only prior to
him going pro
se...
On
November 22,
in the run-up
to the trial
scheduled for
November 27,
the defendant
submitted his
own request
for subpoenas,
on which names
were redacted.
One was
denied, the
other deemed
moot.
On
November 28,
Inner City
Press attended
the trial. In
the middle of
the testimony
of a victim
witness, a
break was
taken for
Joseph to
confer with
his stand-by
counsel about
his options.
She re-emerged
from the
holding cell
to say that it
is likely
Joseph will
plead guilty
on November
29. The
prosecutors
said they will
be prepared
with more
victim
testimony,
just in case.
The
case is US v.
Joseph,
23-cr-68
