- Docket ending 1122,

23, and 24.

People versus Richard Wheatley,
Dana Wheatley,

and Richard Wheatley, Jr.

Defendants are charged
with 23 counts of penal law,

section 46022,

aggravated enterprise
corruption.

Penal law 47020,

money laundering
in the first degree.

Penal law 22043,

criminal sale of a controlled
substance in the first degree.

And for the defendant
Richard Wheatley only,

two counts
of penal law section 12020,

murder in the second degree

for the murder
of Manfredi Sinatra...

And the murder
of Kathleen Marie Stabler.

- Anything else you want
to throw in there?

Shoplifting, jaywalking,
maybe a little gangbanging?

- Do you find this amusing,
Mr. Wheatley?

- No, Your Honor.
I find it terrifying.

A man in my position
is used to being targeted,

but it's a new low
when my children,

just beginning
their adult lives,

are attacked by a system

that view them as--
as suspect,

only because the color
of their skin--

- That's enough.
- It's absolutely disgraceful.

- That is enough, Mr. Wheatley.

- His strategy
is you can't prosecute us,

'cause my kids are Black?

- Yeah, historically,
that hasn't worked very well.

- How do your clients plead?
- Athena Davis,

for the defendant
Richard Wheatley, Your Honor.

The defendant pleads
not guilty.

- Not guilty.
- Not guilty.

- People,
I'll hear you on bail.

- Your Honor, the defendants
have been charged

in one of the most far-reaching
organized crime cases

to come out of the city
of New York in over a decade--

racketeering, money laundering.
multiple murders,

including the targeted murder
of a police officer's wife.

And all in addition
to the grotesque acquisition

of millions of doses
of COVID vaccines

for the express purpose of
extorting developing nations.

In light of the charges
and the multiple life sentences

that the defendants are facing,

the people request that all
three be remanded without bail.

[indistinct chatter]

- Defendants are remanded.
Bailiff, take charge.

- Go ahead.

- Not a lot of fireworks.

find out soon enough.

- Here she is!
Ms. Davis!

- Ms. Davis, can you please
just explain how...

- Is he worried that his
children are gonna make a deal

and testify against him?

- Is it true
Wheatley's ex-wife,

Professor Angela Wheatley,

is already cooperating
with the prosecution?

- Let me be very clear.

Richard Wheatley
is the victim here.

Dana Wheatley
and Richard Wheatley, Jr.

will not be testifying
against their father

because there's nothing
to testify to.

What you did not hear
in that courtroom today,

the Organized Crime Task Force
