SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 2 – Michael
Paschal is on
trial for sex
trafficking a
17 year old
girl from
North Carolina
to engage in
commercial sex
at his
direction in a
building on
Brady Avenue
in the Bronx
in 2000.
On May 2, 2023
the trial
began before
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Vernon S.
Broderick.
Inner City
Press was
there, the
only media in
the
courtroom.
After the jury
was selected -
the voir dire
questions
included the
NYC Agency for
Child
Services,
which kept the
victim
"Sunshine" in
the hospital
until
returning her
to North
Carolina - the
opening
statement were
given in the
afternoon.
By
day's end, the
prosecutors
were reading
into the
record a
mind-numbing
litany of
declarations,
about Meta,
TextNow and
Apple records,
and foreign
business
records from
Poland.
The
exhibits were
"published" to
the jurors,
but not on the
larger screen
facing the
courtroom
gallery.
The
case is US v.
Paschal,
21-cr-331
(Broderick)
