EDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 8 – What is it
with musicians and the Eastern
District of New York
prosecutors, or at least their
press office?
On August 8 that
Office wanted coverage of
their bid to remand Fetty Wap
a/k/a Willie Junior Maxwell II
- but only on their terms.
Before a
presentment at the Central
Islip courthouse, for which
there was no press or public
call-in line, the pump was
primed. But if a media
misunderstood the
instructions, and dared report
the actions of the
prosecutors, henceforth it
would be excluded from the
Office (publicly-funded)
information, and its questions
not answered. So much for due
process - by a prosecutor's
office.
Instead,
this: "The musician, whose
legal name is Willie Junior
Maxwell II, was arrested in
Newark, New Jersey, on Monday
morning and indicted in
federal court in the Eastern
District of New York,
according to John Marzulli, a
spokesperson for the U.S.
attorney for Eastern New
York." Indicted? That happened
in the past. "U.S. Magistrate
Judge Steven Locke revoked
Fetty Wap's bond on Monday
afternoon, meaning he will
remain in jail, Marzulli told
[the] News." Speaking to some,
not others.
Long after
others got the apparently
priceless detention memo,
Inner City Press puzzled
within it over this line /
crime: "after John Doe called
the defendant a rat, the
defendant responded by saying,
'Your man is a rat.'"

Press' DocumentCloud here.
Questions about
this and other EDNY
prosecutions will not be
answered by the Office's
ex-journalist spokesman John
Marzulli. We'll have more on
this.
More from the
selectively distributed,
created with public funds
detention memo: "According to
John Doe, the Facetime call
occurred on December 11, 2021,
and in the call the defendant
possessed a gun, threatened to
kill him, and called an
individual a 'rat,' despite
the fact that this was a
direct violation of both state
law and the conditions of his
release."
This was prepared
without any assistance or
answers from Eastern District
of New York US Attorney's
Office spokesman John
Marzulli, ex-Daily
News, who without
hearing or appeal on August
8, 2022 decreed that
said "his" / EDNY's
publicly-funded information
will henceforth go to some
(including outside of New
York) but not others, or
other, like NYC-based Inner
City Press. We'll have more on
this.
