COURTHOUSE,
Oct 22 – For days Inner City
Press had heard from its
sources there would be a
"takedown" on February 6, each
SDNY Magistrate Judge would
handle seven to 10 defendants.
Arrests happen at
6 am. So at 5:55 am Inner City
Press tweeted it, first to X
subscribers with the spoiler
alert: the expectation was
that each of the current or
former NYCHA employees would
be released on bond the same
day.
And then hours
later at 9:39 am the
prosecutors announced it.
Media rushed around reporting
it. Inner City Press had
it first, and after discretely
waiting, published it first.
Then this thread of
presentments, here.
On March 27,
another guilty plea, by Joseph
Fuller for taking $37,800 in
bribes. The guideline,
Magistrate Judge James L. Cott
said, is 18 to 24 months.
Jump cut to
August 27, when Fuller asked
for time served when he gets
sentenced.
It happened on
October 17, docketed on
October 22. Fuller got no
prison, but 12 months home
detention.
The case is US v.
Fuller, 24-cr-181 (Ho / Cott)
