SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 5 – Cholo Abdi Abdullah
is charged with planning with
al Shabaab to attack the US
with a commercial jet.
On
September 5, 2023 he appeared
in court saying he has lost
faith in lawyers, and intially
saying he now wants to
represent himself. Inner City
Press was there, the only
media in the courtroom.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Analisa Torres advised
him that without a lawyer he
would be at a major
disadvantage.
After a break, it
was agreed he said confer with
CUNY law professor Ramzi
Kassem, and be back in court
on September 19 at 3:30 pm.
There is more to be reported
but for now, here, this is it.
