SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 23 – A man named Brendan
Dowling was presented on May
23 before U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge
Barbara C. Moses, on a warrant
issued from his assault case
in DC Superior Court. Inner
City Press was there.
Judge Moses
asked, Isn't assault a
misdemeanor in the District of
Columbia? The SDNY
Assistant US Attorney said yes
- but that it involved hitting
a commuter on the head for no
reason.
Brenden Dowling had just been
released from New York prison,
for a similar attack, the AUSA
said.
The Federal
Defender, who repeatedly
referred to Brendan Dowling as
"they," successfully argued
for his release. She said they
will go to a shelter but only
briefly, as they are eligible
for housing for people with
HIV.
The case is US v.
Dowling, 23-mj-4227 (Moses)
