SDNY COURTROOM
Exclusive, Dec 15 – In the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
on the late morning of
December 22, a detention or
release proceeding was held by
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker on a defendant charged
with shooting a gun on 191st
Street and St. Nicholas Avenue
on July 29, 2021.
The
defendants, Joshua Romera, was
bought in by Marshals; he was
wearing a yellow prison
jumpsuit. His lawyer said he
might not get the ten years he
faces, and pointed at his
wife, the only person in the
gallery other than Inner City
Press. He offered three
relatives to sign a bond,
listing their incomes and what
they work in. It was not
enough.
Judge
Parker conferred with
Pre-Trial Services, apparently
about Romero proposing to live
in same apartment he was in on
the day of the alleged crime.
She said he is a danger to the
community, with prior felony
convictions. She ordered him
detained.
He will
apparently be not in the MDC
in Brooklyn but Essex in
Newark, New Jersey. His lawyer
said he is not vaccinated;
Judge Parker asked if the
prison offers vaccinations and
was told they do.
The case is US v.
Romero, 21-mj-10730 (Oetken /
Parker).
