SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 30 – A
man self
surrendered on
drug charges
on May 30, the
day before he
has a surgery
scheduled
followed by a
two day
hospital stay.
Inner
City Press was
there.
Edwin Torres
came before
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York
Magistrate
Judge
Katharine H.
Parker.
He
had retained a
lawyer with
his own funds,
but a Federal
Defender stood
up, waiving
the
preliminary
hearing to the
30th
day.
The
US Attorney's
Office, which
had charged
Torres with
conspiracy to
distribute
crack, heroin
and fentanyl,
agreed to
same-day
release on
$100,000 bond
with two
co-signers to
be identified
later, and GPS
installed a
reasonable
time after
Torres leaves
the hospital.
The
case is US v.
Torres,
23-mj-4350
(Parker)
