FEDERAL COURT,
Oct 22 --
On October
22,
months
after the DC
Circuit's
decision in US
v. Munchel, DDC Judge Tanya
S. Chutkan
had before her Capitol
breach
defendant Michael
Joseph Foy who
wanted to be
able,
pre-trial, to
leave home to
work. Inner
City Press live
tweeted it here
OK -
now Jan 6 case
of US v.
Michael Joseph
Foy, he wants
to loosen his
conditions of
pre-trial
release to
allow leaving
home for work
as a mechanic.
US is
opposing.
DDC
Judge Chutkan:
One of the
things that
concerns me is
that he should
be allowed to
resume his
life while
facing such
serious
charges. He
joined a mob
and tried to
stop the
peaceful
transfer of
power. You
don't accept
the rule of
law.
Judge
Chutkan: Does
he have GPS
monitoring? A:
Yes. Judge
Chutkan: For
what can he
leave the
home? A: Only
for lawyer
meetings or
medical
emergencies.
Judge
Chutkan: Why
can't I just
add church and
seeking
employment?
Judge
Chutkan: What
time is
church?
Foy:
11.
Judge
Chutkan: What
time is it
over?
Foy:
12.
Judge
Chutkan
(laughs) I
thought church
takes longer
than that.
Can't you
apply to be an
mechanic
online?
Defense
lawyer: They
want an
in-person
interview
Judge
Chutkan: I'm
not ready to
go to 9 to 5
yet. Here's
what I'm going
to do: home
detention but
only allowed
to leave home
for scheduled
job
interviews,
info to
pre-trial
services, also
church on
Sunday, 10:30
to 1. Other
than that, in
the home.
Defense:
Thank you,
Your Honor.
And if he gets
a job offer,
can he start
in a week?
Judge
Chutkan: You
have to file a
motion. Voice:
Isn't that up
to pre-trial?
Judge Chutkan:
I want to know
where he will
be working.
This is a
serious crime.
Judge Chutkan:
Next status
January 5 at
10 am.
AUSA: I
think he'll
have it
resolved by
then [meaning,
guilty plea].
Adjourned

October 23,
