SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 9 – Past six pm on Friday
December 6 Leonardo Bautista
was presented on charges of
conspiracy to distribute
narcotics in connection with a
one kilogram brick of heroin
or fentanyl, questioned by
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Barbara
Moses.
Assistant
US Attorney Matthew Hellman
acknowledged that the tests on
the brick were not complete.
But he disputed that Bautista
would necessarily be safety
valve eligible, and asked that
he be detained.
In the Magistrates Court
gallery was Bautista's spouse,
an Iraq War veteran, ready to
sign any bond.
After questioning AUSA Hellman
about the brick, Judge Moses
ruled that Bautista could be
released but only upon the
satisfaction, after the
weekend, of conditions
including Pre Trial Services
conducting a home visit in The
Bronx. There must be three
financially responsibile
co-signers. Judge Moses
remarked that the difficult
cases come in after close of
business on Friday.
The case is US v.
Bautista, 19-mj-11431
(Moses).
