Lequan Eley Stays in MCC Amid COVID 19 As Judge Abrams and US Cited Domestic Violence

BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 10 – Lequan Eley, facing a sentence of 210 months if convicted, on April 10 sought release from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan.

 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of the New York Judge Ronnie Abrams asked his lawyer, He would go back to the woman he has [allegedly] strangled?   Always (over) prepared Assistant US Attorney Thomas John Wright cited to drug sales in the lobby of 1225 Sheridan Avenue in The Bronx, to which he seeks release.

     Inner City Press notes that more affluent inmates these deals propose to judges other places to live.

    AUSA then cited SDNY Judge Kaplan's March 31 decision in US v. Espinal, 17-cr-791, that risk of release "might well be enhanced by law enforcement [agencies] are severely stretched by the present emergency." He cited the UN, too. 

The UN gym is open, contrary to New York law, Inner City Press scoop here.

     Eley's lawyer Galluzzo says it's wrong to equate medical care in the MCC prison with that out in NYC at large, calls the MCC a Petri dish, as did another defense lawyer earlier today, here.

 Galluzzo confirms that he was told his client is NOT on BOP's vulnerable list, as given to him by the Federal Defenders. He is trying to get him on the list, as having asthma. 

Questions are being raised about this list, including the accuracy with which it's conveyed

  Judge Abrams: Although the court is concerned, there are no combination of conditions... I'm very concerned he was convicted of strangling his girlfriend until she lost consciousness. Again in 2019, he strangled her with a towel, allegedly. She cited a surge of domestic violence.  Also, he's here on a writ from the state system, which might put him back into custody. The bail application is denied. The case is US v. Eley, 20-cr-171 (Abrams).
