SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 31 – A
defendant on
supervised
release for a
2013 armed
robbery is now
charged with
selling crack
and hitting,
or strangling,
his
ex-girlfriend,
allegedly as
part of a
threesome or
"poly"
relationship.
Inner
City Press
attended a
three hour
hearing about
Jones' alleged
violations of
supervised
release on
April 28,
2023.
U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Sidney H.
Stein held the
hearing. At
one point he
asked Inner
City Press why
it found this
more
interesting
than "Judge
Kaplan's
trial," that
of E. Jean
Carroll v.
Trump. (That
trial was on
Friday hiatus
on April
28).
Defendant
Untra Jones
was slumped in
his chair. His
lawyer said he
had a problem
with his
posterior.
After
three law
enforcement
witnesses, a
Lakeysha
Quinones
testified that
as Jones'
current
girlfriend,
she had
consented to a
"poly"
relationship
with Untra's
ex, the
victim.
She and Untra
both testified
they when to
have a
threeway in
Untra's house,
actually the
residence of
his client
(Untra is a
live-in home
health
attendant).
But soon the
ex felt Untra
was paying too
much attention
to her
successor, and
mentioned some
past abuse of
Untra that was
not allowed
into evidence.
She said Untra
"strangled"
the victim,
after she hit
him.
"No further
questions,"
the Assistant
US Attorney
said.
On
May 2,
"Closing
statements for
both side
regarding the
Fatico hearing
held on April
28, 2023.
Violation
specifications
3 and 5 are
withdrawn. The
Court finds
that the
government has
proven
specifications
1, 2, and 4 by
a
preponderance
of the
evidence.
Defendant is
sentenced to
custody of
eight months;
supervised
release is
revoked.
Defendant is
remanded to
the U.S.
Marshal.
Attorney Sam
A. Schmidt
shall remain
as CJA counsel
for defendant
for the next
two weeks.
STEIN, J.."
Then:
"ORDER as to
Untra Jones:
IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that
defendant
Untra Jones
[USM No.
69298-054] is
remanded to
the custody of
the U.S.
Marshal for
the Southern
District of
New York.
(Signed by
Judge Sidney
H. Stein on
5/2/2023)."
Inner
City Press
watched as two
Marshals took
Untra Jones
out through
the side door.
But
Inner City
Press has
stayed on the
case. On May
31, Untra
Jones' lawyer
wrote to Judge
Stein that his
client is not
receiving
medical
treatment -
"not
ibuprofen, not
acetaminophen.
His arm
remains in a
sling." Judge
Stein endorsed
it: "The BOP
is directed to
assess def's
medical
condition and
provide
appropriate
medication as
soon as
practicable."
This case is
US v. Untra
Jones,
13-cr-836
