Kay Flock’s sentencing has been delayed.
According to court documents acquired by Complex, on Sept. 29, the New York rapper’s attorney, Michael T. Ashley, requested a 60-day adjournment. He explained that Flock and his legal team haven’t been able to obtain certain materials needed to submit to the court in order for Flock to be properly sentenced.
The judge subsequently granted the request on Sept. 30, with Flock’s original sentencing date moved from Oct. 16 to Dec. 16. “The defense should expect no further adjournments,” Judge Lewis J. Liman wrote.
In March, Flock was found guilty in a RICO case against him and his alleged gang, Sev Side. While Flock was acquitted on charges of murder in aid of racketeering, he was found guilty of several other charges, including racketeering conspiracy, use of a firearm resulting in death, attempted murder and assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering and use of a firearm for attempted murder and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Flock and a handful of others were accused of murdering and shooting several people in the Bronx from 2020 to 2022. One of the main shootings at the center of the case was the murder of 24-year-old Hwascar Hernandez, who was shot outside of a Harlem barbershop on Dec. 16, 2021. Hernandez was allegedly shot in the neck and back after he ran out of a barbershop that Flock walked by. His attorneys later claimed that the incident was self-defense.
