SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 17 – Casius Ernest had a
violation of supervised
release proceeding on February
17 and Inner City Press
covered it.
His lawyer
was supposed to be able to
speak with him before the
proceeding. But it didn't
happen due, it was said, to
"the facility."
Ernest cut in, "So because of
the facility, I am losing my
rights."
The defense
lawyer said they could go
forward before U.S. District
Court of the Southern District
of New York Judge Kimba M.
Wood, and confer if necessary.
Issues arose. The defense
lawyer asked to stay on the
line to speak with his client.
Another said, the
press is on the line. Inner
City Press would have hung up
- but the proceeding was over.
The case is US v.
Ernest, 12-cr-442 (Wood)
