SDNY COURT
Exclusive, Nov 3 –
In the
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York on March 17,
2023 a bail or
detention
proceeding was
held by
Magistrate
Judge Katharine
H. Parker
on a man who
brandished a
loaded
rifle and
handgun in a
bodega in
Manhattan's
Chelsea neighborhood
then was running
away when he
was tackled by
a Good Samaritan
and arrested.
On
March 30,
Jason Fleming
still detained
was formally
indicted --
just the
single count
of felon in
possession of
a firearm --
and the case
was assigned
to District
Judge
Broderick.
On
April 6, Judge
Broderick held
a bail appeal.
Inner City
Press was
there, the
only media,
thread here:
All
rise!
Judge:
I understand
there's a bail
appeal. I have
a letter from
Laneeah (sp)
Contracting
LLC, and
pictures of Mr
Fleming with
children for
whom he has
taken on the
responsibility
as parent. I
have seen the
3 video. FD:
He doesn't
have a
passport.
Federal
Defender: His
partner is
here. There is
mitigating
evidence. He
did not fire
the guns. He
was drunk and
emotionally
unstable. He
was trying to
throw the
revolver over
the fence. He
was trying to
de-escalate
Federal
Defender:
922(g) may no
longer be a
crime of
violence. Guns
are a commerce
problem. Guns
can be sold in
many
jurisdictions,
just not this
one.
Judge: I am
going to order
Mr Fleming
remain
detained.
On
July 27, Inner
City Press
went to
Fleming's
proceeding
before Judge
Vernon S.
Broderick and
it was a
change of
plea, to
guilty.
Thread:
OK-
now at US v
Jason Fleming,
who was
tackled by
Good Samaritan
while running
with 2 guns.
He is pleading
guilty.
As
felon in
possession of
a firearm,
Jason Fleming
has not gotten
a plea deal
but rather a
Pimintel
letter says
guideline is
33 to 41
months.
Federal
Defender says
he will be
contesting 4
enhancements,
says he did
not try to rob
store, rather
verbal
altercation
Federal
Defender says
he calculates
guideline as
12 to 18
month. AUSA
says Office
anticipates
seeking more
than 41
months.
Fleming is
rolling the
dice
Fleming
admits having
the guns, on
24th Street
and 10th
Avenue on
March 16,
2023.
Begins
to apologize -
Federal
Defender tells
him to stop,
there'll be
time for that
at sentencing
On
October 24,
Federal
Defenders for
Fleming asking
for a time
served
sentence.
On
October 26,
the US
Attorney's
Office asked
for 60 months
- five years.
On November 1,
the US put in
a Cellebrite
extraction
with photos of
the defendant
- and others -
with guns...
And
on November 1,
Fleming got
two years:
"Minute Entry
for
proceedings
held before
Judge Vernon
S. Broderick:
Sentencing
held on
11/1/2023 for
Jason Fleming
(1) Count 1.
Defendant
Jason Fleming,
in custody,
present.
Sentencing
held. Victim
impact
statement
heard.
Defendant is

24 months
imprisonment,
and 3 years of

The
case is US v.

23-cr-174
