SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Dec 14 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on August 19, a bail
review was held by Magistrate
Judge Barbara C. Moses on a
defendant, Boss Terrell,
charged with playing a role in
a murder and being caught on
video shooting a gun a month
later in The Bronx.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the Mag
Court.
Terrell
had two lawyers - it being a
death penalty eligible case,
he has Learned Counsel - and
his parents in the gallery.
His father was wearing a New
York Giants jersey with
[Lawrence] Taylor written on
it. Defense counsel said he
worked for the Housing
Authority until a co-worked
dropped a refrigerator back on
him.
Judge Moses expressed
sympathy for the parents, but
declined to grant bail, on
both the danger to the
community and the risk of
flight prongs. Time was
allowed for the defendant to
tell his year-old son to
remember him. Then he was
gone.
Afterward
Inner City Press gleened that
while the change of being
released had been very low, at
least this way the defense got
some discovery, for example
learning about the video of
the July 2020 incident.
Jump cut to
December 14, when
co-defendants were presented
in the Magistrates Court,
before Mag Judge James L.
Cott. For detention, a
pawnshop robbery in Queens,
violence including murder and
the use of social media and
hip hop music to brag about it
were cited. It was too much:
detention was ordered, at
least pending the next
proceeding before Judge
Furman. Inner City Press will
stay on the case(s).
The case is US v.
Terrell, 22-cr-343 (Furman /
Moses)
