MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Carlos Watson's defense team, led by Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., today filed a motion to dismiss the charges against the black entrepreneur and Ozy Media founder on the basis that federal prosecutors with a track record of targeting people of color are trying to criminalize conduct generally accepted in the Silicon Valley world of start-ups.

Key Points: 
  • This request was spurred by revelations that the three White prosecutors who charged Watson had pursued people of color in 90 percent of their cases since 2019 .
  • Yet, Sullivan pointed out, only Ozy and Watson have been targeted for prosecution: "The others are white and white-owned.
  • Carlos Watson is a Black man and Ozy Media was majority-owned by people of color."
  • At a minimum, Sullivan asserted, the judge should grant discovery so the defense team can investigate whether a racial bias exists among the white prosecutors in Brooklyn.
