Hearing
on US v. Ryan Samsel - he says
he was beaten in DC Jail: He is
also charged with serious domestic violence,
now he wants out Samsel detention hearing is
starting later than listed. In the run-up
there was talk about medical orderlies,
Poltergeist and an air-conditioning repairman
who had cataract surgery. Now it's on.
Lawyer: Mr Samsel sleeps on the bottom bunk
with only one cell mate
Judge Faruqui: According to the writings
of Chief Judge Howell, and District Judge
Lamberth, we'd need to be seeking the
enhancement -- Assistant US Attorney: We are.
On two bases, including the use of the
barrier.
Samsel's lawyer: My client has a letter
from the Pennsylvania Parole Board. He's
subject to detention until August 2022.
Judge Faruqui: Is there a detainer? Samsel's
lawyer: Yes. The FBI spoke with the
Pennsylvania authorities.
AUSA: The victim did want to submit a
statement. By email, she sent it an hour ago
and asked me to read it out loud today. "You
broke through our police lines on Jan 6... You
have stolen moments away from me, I could not
be with my fellow officers & mourn
Sicknick
AUSA: I want to make it clear Mr. Samsel is
not the only 1 to cause the injuries. But she
is fainting and cannot return to work.
Samsel's lawyer: If my client is released, he
will turn himself in. Victims would be
notified. Samsel: Couldn't I just go to
PA jail?
Judge Faruqui: That's what we're looking into.
AUSA: There would not be any comfort level
with Mr. Samsel self-surrendering. There is
concern about a particular witness who
provided information about Mr. Samsel. We
don't want them at risk.
AUSA: Also, he will not get credit on
this case if he is in state prison. Samsel's
lawyer: And he could only get state credit if
there was no Federal detainer until just
before he left. Judge Faruqui: OK, we've
flagged all the issues. Let's reconvene next
week
Judge Faruqui: Mr. Samsel, don't think we're
forgetting you.
Samsel: Thank you. Judge Faruqui: OK, the
parties are excused.
We will
have more on
this.
