SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 5 –
When Jason Davenport applied
for release from prison on May
5, he may have faced the wrong
Assistant US Attorney,
Christopher Clore.
In a telephone
proceeding apparently only
covered by Inner City Press,
Clore said "as a Harlem guy
myself," he was heartened to
see people willing to sign a
bond for Richardson.
But, AUSA
Clore argued, these family
members had not in the past
stopped Richardson from crime.
And Clore made
the argument that because
Richardson would be in an
apartment building with people
in the lobby and elevators, he
might be safer in prison.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Andrew L. Carter ruled
that Richardson had not shown
extraordinary circumstances,
and would therefore remain
detained.
The case is US v.
Richardson, 18-cr-420
(Carter).
