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.
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: "On November
5, 2021, the Court released
the defendant WILLIE JUNIOR
MAXWELL II, also known as
“Fetty Wap,” also known as
“Willie Junior Maxwell,” on a
$500,000 bond signed by the
defendant and three other
signees.
The bond is
secured by the defendant’s
property in Stockbridge, GA.
(Id.) The Court imposed the
following conditions on the
defendant’s pretrial release:
( 1) The defendant must not
violate any federal, state or
local law while on release,
and (2) the defendant must not
possess a firearm, destructive
device, or other weapon.
(Id.).
MAXWELL’S
VIOLATIONS OF THE CONDITIONS
OF RELEASE
4. Evidence of
the defendant’s violation of
the conditions of his release
are based upon a
video-recording of a FaceTime
call between the defendant and
John Doe. 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.
Specifically, on
or about December 11, 2021,
John Doe was on a FaceTime
call with the defendant WILLIE
JUNIOR MAXWELL II, also known
as “Fetty Wap,” also known as
“Willie Junior Maxwell.” The
government received a
video-recording of this
FaceTime call. (A copy of the
video recording of the
FaceTime call is attached
hereto as Exhibit 2). During
this video, the defendant is
shown holding a gun and
pointing it towards John Doe.
(Id.). The defendant then says
to John Doe “Imma kill you and
everybody you with,” which he
then repeats one more time.
(Id.). The defendant then
continues to threaten John
Doe, saying “I’m gonna kill
you,” a threat which he
repeats several more times
throughout the video call
(Id.). Additionally, after
John Doe called the defendant
a rat, the defendant responded
by saying, “Your man is a
rat.” (Id.) Screenshots of the
defendant displaying a firearm
are below: WHEREFORE, your
deponent respectfully requests
that an arrest warrant be
issued for the defendant
WILLIE JUNIOR MAXWELL II, also
known as “Fetty Wap,” also
known as “Willie Junior
Maxwell,” so that he may be
dealt with according to law.
Because
disclosure of the contents of
this Affidavit would
jeopardize an ongoing
investigation and threaten the
safety of witnesses, it is
further requested that this
Affidavit and the Arrest
Warrant be filed under seal
and remain under seal until
further order of the Court.
Sworn to before me this 2nd
day of August, 2022 Derek
Wonderland, Special Agent
Federal Bureau of
Investigation
This was prepared
without any assistance or
answers from Eastern District
of New York US Attorney's
Office spokesman John
Marzulli, 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 have requested
reconsideration, so far
repeatedly ignored by one
strike and you're out, no due
process Marzulli. This is
inappropriate for any representative
of a prosecutor's office.
We'll have more on this.
