COURTHOUSE,
July 1 – Two defendants
charged with conspiracy to
distribute narcotics including
para-fluorofentanyl argued for
bail on July 1 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Denise L. Cote. Inner
City Press was there, the only
media in the courtroom.
The
first name defendant's lawyer
pointed to three family
members in the courtroom,
saying one was a teacher in
Brooklyn earning $35,000 a
year. Judge Cote, however,
focused on danger to the
community and ordered both
defendants detained.
The
co-defendant's nickname is
"Big Bank," according to the
indictment.
The case is
USA v. Smith, et al.,
1:25-cr-293 (Cote)
