SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 26 – Glen Myers was
charged with bank fraud and
identity theft. Then while out
on bond, he was
arrested.
On
January 26, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
called in, then reported it, here.
Then on March 25, when Judge
Liman conducted an in-person
sentencing, Inner City Press
went to near-empty Courtroom
15B to cover it, see below.
On January 26,
Assistant US Attorney Benjamin
Schrier chided Myers' lawyer
Jeffrey Shabrowe for having
sought a loosening of
conditions of release without
conference with Pre-Trial
Services.
In fact,
"especially in light of Myers'
arrest over the past weekend,"
a request was made for
tightened conditions.
Judge
Liman ruled that Myers should
be subject to 24 home
confinement and not permitted
to leave home for work, in
Mount Vernon or anywhere else.
When
the sentencing took place on
March 25, Inner City Press
went to the courtroom. Judge
Lyman let his mother speak,
which is rare in sentencings.
She had submitted a letter
that her son's help, on her
health and dog-walking.
AUSA Schrier
recounted the
arrests while
on pre-trial
release:
January 1,
2020 assault
in East
Orange, NJ;
July 17, 2020,
marijuana
arrest in
Perry, Georgia
without
consent;
January 17,
2021, high
speed chase in
Newark.
Judge
Liman was very
polite with
the
defendant's
mother, but
said that a
modest period
of
incarceration
was necessary
to promote
respect for
the law. The
guideline was
six to 12
months.
Judge
Liman arrived
at six months,
to begin on
May 24. He
wished the
defendant
well, telling
him he can be
a productive
member of
society. TD Bank will be
getting (back)
$21,870. The
proceeding was
over, and the
courthouse
nearly empty.
The case is USA
v. Lyons, 20-cr-152 (Liman)
