SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 27 – Reginald Latimore,
44 with asthma, sought release
from federal imprisonment due
to COVID-19 in an April 27
proceeding covered by Inner
City Press.
His lawyer
said he could live in
Brooklyn.
U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Chief
Judge McMahon, ruled, I am
going to leave Mr. Latimore
where he is. He sold one kilo
of cocaine a week. He also
sold fentanyl. On February 24
law enforcement found a loaded
.22 & another eight kilos
of fentanyl. This is not the
defendant's first rodeo. He is
now 44. He has not been scared
straight... I would never
allow this defendant to be
released in a presumption
case, it has most emphatically
not been rebutted. He's
looking at 16 years at the low
end.
She
said, The question is whether
I should release this 44 year
old with asthma due to
COVID-19. The answer is no.
The pandemic has been going on
for two months. The MCC has
had five inmates test
positive. I know of no recent
positive test. HE would be no
safer out than in. The motion
is denied. Anything else?
Thank you everyone for making
yourself available and doing
this by phone. Be safe
and be healthy.
The case is US v.
Latimore, 20-mj-01522
(McMahon).
