SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 18 – Allen Lawrence was
charged with distributing,
receiving and possession child
pornography on November 18 but
the U.S. Attorney for the
Southern District of New York
proposed to release him that
very night on his own
signature on a $50,000 bond.
In the SDNY Magistrates Court,
no docket number was given.
But it was said that Lawrence
lives directly across from a
school.
While she
did not mentioned the docket
number or the borough,
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
to her credit decided Lawrence
should be held over at least
for one night. She did this
after retiring to the Mag
Court robing room and making a
number of phone calls
including to the deputy chief
of Pre-Trial Services.
The reason
for the remand was the safety
of Pre Trial Services
officers, not the safety of
children. We hope to have more
on this - once the docket
number is made available.
Next Miguel Nivar was
presented on a sealed charge
of "felon in possession" of a
firearm or ammunition on
November 18 before Judge
Netburn.
While the
U.S. Attorney's Office had
consented to release that very
night on a $25,000 bond, Judge
Netburn cited a policy of
Pre-Trial Services that no one
would be released until a home
visit was conducted by the
Service. (Minutes later a
defendant named Lin, a Chinese
national charged with money
laundering, was released
without any home visit).
Perhaps it
was because the government,
while purportedly offering
same-night release, also
wanted GPS monitoring. But it
remained murky: Lin had no
docket number, and Nivar's
case even hours later remained
"under seal" on PACER. Inner
City Press will have more on
this.
The case is
US v. Nivar,
19-mj-10179 (Netburn).
