Amay Grannison Tossed From Drug Treatment For A Kiss US Says Shows COVID Unconcern

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 13 –  Amay Grannison was thrown out of a drug treatment program in upstate New York because she was seen kissing a person being released from the program. There is apparently a rule against romantic relations.

But what's in a kiss?  

 In a bail review hearing on April 13 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Analisa Torres, Grannison's Federal Defender argued that there was no romance, and that his client was in distress because her mother faced enhanced risk due to COVID-19.   

Assistant US Attorney Alexander Li replied that since the allegation was that Grannison was using K-2 while in treatment, the claimed concern with Covid-19 was false. Really?

Li said if not for the virus his Office would be asking for remand. Judge Torres ended the hearing without addressing that. The case is US v. Garnnison, 19-cr-678 (Torres).
