SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 20 – A murder thirty
years ago in Brooklyn was the
subject of a presentment on
November 20 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court. William
Skinner faces the possibility
of the federal death penalty;
his co-defendant Luis Merced
does not because he was 17 on
the date of the murder,
February 10,
1989.
Despite Skinner's lawyer
arguing he should be released
on bail because the government
in the first 1990 trial has
only one witness, SDNY
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
ordered both held over. The
government has already sought
a protective order to protect
new witnesses. The case is US
v. Merced, et al, 19-cr-832
(Ramos).
