SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 9 -- A defendant named
Jason Disla was presented
before and detained by
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang
on the evening of March 9 in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrates Court.
The prosecutors told Judge
Wang they have a video of
Disla, "with corn rows and
glasses," shooting a gun at
two people, and emphasized
that the gun is still missing.
But
Disla's Federal Defender
called the two hitmen hired by
a drug dealer, and said that
the missing gun might not be
his client's.
Judge Wang took a twenty
minute break, during which
Baum audibly told Disla's four
family members in the gallery
where Inner City Press was the
only media that if when he
gets the video it shows the
prosecutors lied, Disla will
be released. And that if the
video is as the government
says, he's going to jail
anyway.
Judge Wang
returned and ruled that the
government had met its burden
of showing by clear and
convincing evidence that
releasing Dislaw would present
a danger to the community.
She added that if it is true
that the two were hired
assassins, released Disla
would be a danger to him, too.
A preliminary hearing was set
for 14 days. The case, as
announced, is US v Disla,
20-mj-2292 (Wang).
