Now at long delayed sentencing of whie collar defendant Maharaj, Inner City Press cover the 2019 trial innercitypress.com/sdny15erisakoe… Maharaj faces a 97 month guideline, and deportation to Trinidad, which he just called a 3d World country. Thread below Image
Arguments, that began 2 hours ago (with a 15 minute hiatus from a jury note in an ongoing railroad case jury deliberation Inner City Press is also covering) are over and judge is about to impose sentence. Guideline, he says, is 97 to 121 months in prison.
Criminal sentences should be "sufficient but not greater than necessary." Judge says Maharaj helped steal $2 million over 6 years from a pension fund. (Faint Robert Maxwell echo for some)
There are only 11 people in this big courtroom, including Inner City Press. Sentence is 44 months. Then 3 years supervised release, forfeiture $1.6 million joint & several with Rubano, restitution hearing in March. Surrender April 8, probable removal to Trinidad.
Defense asks for MaharJ's surrender to be postponed to July 15. Granted. Wants Otisville satellite camp. Will be recommended, Judge says. Adjourned. Inner City Press story soon (after checking @sdnylive Magistrates Court for new cases)

OK - now in Jan 6 case of US v. Ryan Samsel, proceeding before DDC Judge Kelly. Inner City Press has covered the case innercitypress.com/ddc113samselic… and will live tweet, thread below
Samsel's lawyer is opposing tolling of the Speedy Trial Act clock: I'm lacking any information at all. The grand jury process and the government's own information is there own. But they've chosen to indict co-defendants; Mr. Samsel shouldn't be prejudiced by it.
Samsel's lawyer: Despite COVID, we shouldn't just rely on the pandemic to justify delay. Our discovery request was made after the US said they had substantially completed discovery. Yes it's 12 pages in length. But there are deficiencies in the US' discovery
