| From SDNY Peter Bright Presentment
Reported By Inner City Press May 23 But No
Preliminary Hearing Yet
By Matthew
Russell Lee, Periscope here
SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 20 – Less than an hour
after on May 23 witnessing
Peter Bright presented in
shackled in front of his wife
in the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York's Magistrates
Court, Inner
City Press published
into Google
News a
story about it,
including
Bright's
statement
that he was
training an 11
year told girl in The
Bronx.
Also Periscope
video here,
round
up tweet.
Inner
City Press reported
that Bright's Federal
Defenders
lawyer argued
that a video
camera in
Bright's
Brooklyn
apartment building militates
for his
release on
bond. He was
not released.
Two weeks
later the Daily
Dot published a
story about
Bright's
arrest based
off the
complaint on the
PACER document
system. This
has been picked up, with
and without
more. On June
8, Inner City
Press reported
on the case
again, asking
"why
is there no
document in
PACER about
the proceeding
that was due
on June 6? On
any renewed
bid for bail
by the Federal Defenders,
who since that
as reported by
Inner City
Press got
another accused
pedophile
Byran Pivnick
released?
Inner City Press which first
reported
this case will
continue on
it."
Now as we
approach the
30th day deadline
for the preliminary
hearing, the
only thing
that has been
added to
the docket, on
June 20, is
the transcript
of the May 23
denial of
bond. As Inner
City Press
reported, it
contains the
proffer that
there is
a camera about
Bright's
apartment
door, and that
his wife makes
a lot of
money.
In fact, in the
transcript
here is what SDNY
Magistrate
Judge Debra
Freeman
told Peter
Bright on May
23, at page 7,
lines 15-24:
"If, after
this
proceeding
today, you're
being held in
custody, you
would have the
right to have that
preliminary
hearing held
within two
weeks,
fourteen days,
otherwise if you're
not in custody
it need only
be held within
three weeks or
twenty-one
days. You
should also understand
though
that there
won't be a preliminary
hearing at all
if at some
point between
and the
date [sic] when
the hearing is
scheduled you
are iether
indicted by a
grand jury, or
what's called
a criminal
information is
filed against
you by the
government."
Neither
has happened,
in the docket.
Often, it's 30
days that's
named as the
deadline.
But
even then,
with the 30th
day falling on
a weekend, it
would seem
Bright would
have to have his
public preliminary
hearing, or
get indicted,
on Friday June
21. Watch

presentment, here
From Inner
City Press'
exclusive May
23 report: "A
dual British -
US citizen
living in
Brooklyn but
reaching out
for underage
sex was
presented, with
his wife in
the courtroom
by that
time only with
Inner City
Press. Federal
Defender Amy
Gallichio
argued that
Peter Bright
should be
released, since
his building
in Brooklyn
has a video
surveillance
system.
But would the
neighbors want
the U.S.
Attorney's
Office to see
their
comings and
goings?
Gallichio offered
for Bright to
install his
own camera
over his door
and turn the
files in to
the
government. Judge
Freeman
found this of
intersted and
invited a second try, if
only in
writing. She
quizzed Bright's
all-American
wife in the
gallery and said
the Peter is
lucky. Was his
claim to be
"training" an
eleven year
old girl in
The Bronx just
puffery? Inner
City Press
will stay on
this case."
And now we
are.
