SDNY COURTHOUSE
EXCLUSIVE, July 7 – Two
defendants
were brought
into the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York on
June 28, 2023
and got into a
fight, leaving
one of them in
a bloody
splattered
yellow
jumpsuit.
A
week later,
the incident
was not in
either
defendant's
docket.
But Inner City
Press wrote it
up
exclusively, here,
in the case of
US v. Gomez,
23-mj-4912:
"Shooting at
Police in The
Bronx was
Federalized As
Felon in
Possession now
Gomez SDNY
Fight - Two
defendants
were brought
into the
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York on
June 28, 2023
and got into a
fight, leaving
one of them in
a bloody
splattered
yellow
jumpsuit.
Sources tell
Inner City
Press they
heard the
screams from
the holding
cell, and gave
the name of
the other
party: Franco,
and the docket
number." And
now, this
follow up.
On July
7, finally the
US Attorney's
Office put it
in writing,
while seeking
to file the
video under
seal. Its
later said "On
June 28, 2023,
Mr. [Miguel
Angel] Franco
was brought to
the SDNY for
presentment...
Mr. Franco
began
violently
assaulting
another inmate
in the
courthouse
cell block.
The Assault
lasted several
minutes...
Video cameras
captured the
Assault on
video; the
Government has
provided the
Court with
this footage
as Exhibit A
to this
letter. FN:
The Government
is providing
Exhibit A to
Chambers under
separate
cover. Due to
the sensitive
nature of the
video footage
of the
Assault, the
Government
respectfully
requests that
Exhibit A be
filed under
seal."
Is sensitive
nature a basis
for sealing?
The case is US
v. Franco,
22-cr-374
