EDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 9 – 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. On a request for
reconsideration, no direct
response to date. So much for
due process - by a
prosecutor's office.
Now on August 9,
into the public docket, this:
"STEVEN I. LOCKE, United
States Magistrate Judge: Upon
the Government's motion for
the revocation of bail
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3148
(b)(l), and after hearing oral
argument from both sides, the
motion for revocation of bail
is granted. While Defendant
offers sympathetic reasons for
his conduct, the fact remains
that the Government submits a
video clearly depicting
Defendant brandishing a gun
and threatening to kill
someone on the other end of
video conference call. This
evidence establishes: (i)
probable cause to believe that
a crime has been committed,
and (ii) clear and convincing
evidence that Defendant has
violated the terms of his
bond, and is a danger to the
community such that there no
condition or combination of
conditions that will alleviate
that danger. Dated: Central
Islip, New York August 8, 2022
The day
before, from the EDNY US
Attorney's Office but no
mention as of this writing on
the Office's website, 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.
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 updated
report 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 ruling on an August
9 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. As noted, we have
requested reconsideration.
We'll have more on this.
