SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 7 –   Michael Latimer, who as an NYPD Transit Officer stand accused of using his service weapon to rob a 10-pound bag of marijuana in The Bronx on February 6, was presented not in State but Federal court on February 7. Inner City Press live-tweeted this presentment, hereMore on Patreon here.

   The US Attorney's Office through Assistant US Attorney Jamie Bagliebter sought detention for both Latimer, whose parents sat next to Inner City Press in the Magistrates Court gallery, and his ex-con co-defendent Jemel Jones.  

  But Latimer's Federal Defender Christopher Flood argued that Latimer has resigned from the NYPD at 4:30 am and no longer had a gun or posed a danger to the community. Jones' Criminal Justice Act lawyer noted that the seven year mandatory minimum applicable to the firearm does not apply to Jones, who didn't hold it.

   Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York took a recess to discuss the cases with Pre-Trial Services. Inner City Press interviewed some of those in the Magistrates Court.   Judge Netburn returned ordered Jones detained pending trial, because of his past criminal history, while noting his participation in the Exodus Project.

     Judge Netburn ordered conditions of release for now ex-officer Latimer: a $75,000 bond, $5,000 of which is to be secured, urinalysis and home detention. Pre Trial Services will have to visit the home, so Latimer will not be released this weekend.

   According to what was said in the Magistrates Court, Latimer will be in solitary confinement. More on Patreon here. The case is US v. Latimer, 20-mj-1442 (Netburn).
