SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 28 – A young man
detained as part of a Bronx
gang case asked lastweek to be
released on bail. But the US
Attorney's Office opposed it,
citing among other things rap
lyrics.
On June 24, 2022
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jed S. Rakoff held an
in-person bond hearing. Inner
City Press went and covered
it.
The Assistant US
Attorney, beyond describing
bullets in a backpack said the
defendant has appeared in
videos on YouTube with lyrics
such as "they call me war" and
"I'll empty my ten round
clip... hunt you down because
you rat us out."
Judge
Rakoff found a danger to the
community (and did mention
songs and videos, and much
else). The defendant remains
detained.
The overall case
is US v. Done, 22-cr-192
(Rakoff)
