SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 3 – Devonaire Price was
arrested at 6 am on April 3 as
part of a multi-defendant gang
case.
But in this time
of Coronavirus crisis, how
would he be presented, and
would he be freed pending
trial?
Inner City
Press went up to the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court, relocated
to the 24th floor to permit
more social distancing. This
time, even the defense lawyer
was by telephone. But Price
was physically present.
SDNY
Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron presided. Price was,
surprisingly, detained on
consent, with his next
appearance on two weeks on
April 16 before Judge Valerie
E. Caproni.
One of the co-defendants in
the case, Leon Small, has
already pleaded guilty and his
sentencing submission says
that "this mother was born in
1961 and his father, Harry
Smalls, was born in 1921."
Strange days. This case is US
v. Price, 19-cr-166 (Caproni /
Aaron).
