COURTHOUSE,
Aug 9 – Henry Boone was
indicted as a felon in
possession of a gun in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
on June 28, 2023.
Then a
superseding indictment under
the Armed Career Criminal Act,
allege three prior
convictions. But do they all
qualify? On August
2 Boone was brought by US
Marshals before SDNY Judge J.
Paul Oetken. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the courtroom.
The
prosecutor said that only the
day before she'd gotten the
transcript of Boone's 1996
plea allocution to attempted
assault in the first degree,
for a shooting in 1437 Webster
Avenue in The Bronx on August
28, 1994.
The
Federal Defender asked for
time to study and submitted a
brief on this new document.
On August 9 the
US Attorney's Office submitted
a smart phone photo of the
Grand Jury Report, complete
with the shadow of the phone
that took the shot. The
next hearing will be on
September 9 at 10:30
am.
The case is US v.
Boone, 23-cr-328 (Oetken)
