COURTHOUSE,
March 18 – A man
arrested on March 15 on
charged of trafficking five
kilos or more of cocaine was
belatedly presented on March
18 before U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge Gary
Stein.
Inner City Press
was there, the only civilian
in the SDNY Magistrates
courtroom.
A Criminal
Justice Act lawyer said he was
there pro bono, that the
defendant was not eligible for
free counsel but would soon be
hiring his own.
In fact, he had
spoken to the presumptively
incoming counsel, who told him
to not apply for bail, he
would do it.
So the
defendant was detained on
consent, without
prejudice.
The case is
US v. Rodriguez, 24-mj-1110
(Stein).
