SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 10 -- Two defendants
arrested with 12 kilos of
heroin were presented before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang
on March 10. The first, called
Mister Rosado, consented to
detention.
The
second, a 21-year old referred
to as Mr. Del Villar, made a
bail application. Despite the
12 kilos of heroin, his lawyer
emphasized that his client had
only minimal contacts with
Mexico, had a pregnant
girlfriend and no criminal
record. He said his client
might be eligible for the
safety value.
Assistant US Attorney Brett
Kalikow said the defendant
told Pre Trial Services he'd
only been to Mexico one
recently to see a sick uncle,
but it is in fact 10 to 15
times. He cited repeated
California to New York travel
and said the safety value is
unlikely.
Judge Wang after a 20 minute
break returned and granted
bail to the defendant. She
told him it was because of his
youth, lack of record and
impending family. Hours after
the proceeing, the case was
still not in PACER. It is, or
should be, US v. Rosado, et
al., 20-mj-2699 (Wang).
