US Wants Delay of EDNY Murder Trial of Man in MDC Brooklyn Leaves Him Without Light

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC - Honduras - CIA Trial Book - NY Mag

EDNY COURTHOUSE, August 31 – Charles Powell is in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting trial before U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York Judge Eric R. Komitee. 

 But with a switch in Assistant US Attorneys, from Jack Dennehy on "indefinite leave" to Andres Palacio (who thus described the leave),the prosecution on August 29 asked for an adjournment of trial.

 In a proceeding covered by Inner City Press, Judge Komitee said, in essence, not so fast. 

 Defense counsel pointed out that the new AUSA is asking for delay in favor of a November trial on a defendant who is not in custody, before Judge Diane Gujarati.

Judge Komitee asked for a filing by August 31, at midnight - and then inquired into the defendant's appearance at the time of arrest and now, and the US' Brady obligation. 

 Then his dog barked.

Judge Komitee said that he was not in the office - but still his questions dug deeper.

Afterward Powell's lawyer wrote in seeking an order to get a light bulb in his cell. Inner City Press tweeted it. On August 31, Judge Komitee ordered: "ORDER as to Charles Powell re [48] Letter -- The government is directed to get a response from the legal department of the Bureau of Prisons by end of day on September 1, 2022. Ordered by Judge Eric R. Komitee on 8/31/2022. (Guy, Alicia)." Inner City Press will continue to follow this case, in its new EDNY project.

The case is US v. Powell, 21-cr-572 (ERK)
