SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 27 – A defendant described
as Alt-Right faced
imprisonment on December 20 in
a large courtroom with only
Inner City Press in the
gallery.
But the defendant
Garrett Kelsey on Iowa,
charged in July with death
threats to an employee of
Jewish organization in
Manhattan, was allowed to
return free to Iowa albeit
without access to a computer
at the Lowe's he works at
there.
The U.S. paid for his same-day
flight back to Cedar
Rapids.
It's not that the U.S. didn't
try. Before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Sidney H. Stein, the Assistant
US Attorney quoted from a
message the defendant sent at
Thanksgiving, "Happy Indian
Slaughter Day" - but it was
stopped by an
objection.
Federal
Defender Andrew Dalack, just
doing his job, said that his
client is not on trial for
depicable views. Of course
not.
Dalack
worried that his client might
lose his job at Lowe's. Some
wonder how he got it, after
the previously emailed threat
into Manhattan.
Now
until a possible trial in
April 2020 - Dalack is busy
with another trial later in
the month before SDNY Judge
Broderick - the defendant will
have to get by with only a
flip phone.
But can't
he call his compadres on it,
in the same way that fellow
SDNY Judge Valerie E. Caproni
recently detained a Latinx
defendant so he couldn't
called Tony Pots & Pans?
Lowe's in Iowa... Inner City
Press will have more on this.
The case is US v. Kelsey,
19-cr-886 (Stein).
