In SDNY Murky Mag Court Brito Is Detained To MCC After 25 Hour Delay Presented As 1 Hour

By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive Patreon

SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 27 – While many even most cases in the Magistrates Court of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York are sealed or have case numbers given only later, on August 27 before Magistrate Judge Katherine H. Parker a defendant Yefrel Brito was presented and detained to the MCC, spoken about earlier in the day in connection with the death of Jeffrey Epstein, here.

  Brito's 25 hour gap between arrest and presentment mis-portrayed on his Initial Appearance form as being a single hour. The form says Date of Arrest 8/27/19, Time of Arrest 4:30 pm, Time of Presentment 5:35 pm. One hour would be a record. In fact, as revealed in the Complaint, Brito was arrested the day before on August 26.

  He was crossing Valentine Avenue in The Bronx against the light when Police approached him and observed, according to the Complaint, a plastic twist and currency sticking out of his sneakers. He confessed to marijuana and then had 80 ziplocks of crack found on him. Now he faces 10 years in prison and on that basis was detained on consent. And so it goes in the SDNY. 

On August 26 a defendant came in after self-surrendering in a multi-defendant bank fraud and ID theft case.

 His name seems to be Scott Acheampong a/k/a Montana in the indictment 19-cr-582, assigned to SDNY District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein who will see Montana on September 5. He was bailed for $50,000 and allowed to travel to Connecticut, with urinalysis.
