SDNY
COURTHOUSE,
March 19 – William Thompson
and Natalie Credell were
arrested on December 29, 2023
and charged with attempted
bank robbery.
On January
2, they came before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge James L.
Cott. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag Court.
Thompson,
with two family members in the
gallery, consented to
continued detention and was
led out.
Then Natalie
Credell, through counsel,
argued for release on
bond. It was said she
didn't handle the gun, and
that she had only wanted money
to pay one of her sons'
college tuition.
Judge Cott
agreed she could be released
that afternoon on $75,000
bond, with one co-signed to be
identified later. Reference
was made to drug treatment.
Jump cut to March
19, 2024, when Credell was
back before Magistrate Judge
Gary Stein, with bail
revocation on the table. Inner
City Press was there, thread:
bail revocation
hearing on accused bank robber
whose partner died Monday in
the MDC Brooklyn jail. AUSA:
Michael Thompson passed away
Monday in the MDC. There is no
indication of foul play or
self harm, it is still under
review. We are asking for
detention Defense: She has
cognitive impairment and drug
addiction. The mitigation
specialist is here in court
Defense: She has
no MetroCard, phone worked
only on WiFi. She self
medicates, she didn't know
fentanyl was in it.
Being poor doesn't help.
Judge: Drug treatment was
offered.
Judge: This
has not been fair to Pre Trial
Services, nor to your lawyer.
It's mostly unfair to
yourself. You didn't go to
treatment at St. Mark's. If
and when you get sentenced,
you'll want to show progress.
I do not believe that's going
to happen in the MDC
Judge: I would
like to give you one last
chance. But this is the last
one. Do you understand?
Defendant: Yes. Judge: In 2
week, there must be a plan
from your Mitigation
Specialist. In 1 week, St
Mark's intake. You must have a
phone, even if only WiFi...
Hours later, the
defendant was still in the
courthouse. While others were
detained, it appeared that
mercy had been shown.
The case is
