SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 13 -- A well placed
defense lawyer in the Southern
District of New York
courthouse on March 13 before
3 pm told Inner City Press
that "the jails are being
closed for 30 days."
Further
inquiry by Inner City Press
with other SDNY lawyers
confirmed "no legal or medical
visits for thirty days,
nationwide." Several defense
lawyer told Inner City Press
it is an outrage and will
undermine their clients'
rights.
A quick
check-in at the SDNY
Magistrates Court found an
Assistant US Attorney arguing
for the remand to the
Metropolitan Correctional
Center of a defendant named
Sepulveda.
Earlier on
March 13 SDNY Magistrate Judge
Ona T. Wang, with Inner City
Press the only
media in the Mag courtroom,
said without the court
reporter transcribed that
"This court will remain open
[albeit] with social
distancing."
Also on March 13
in SDNY Courtroom 15A Inner
City Press came up a witness
testifying by video to a
Federal trial elsewhere,
seemingly to avoid travel. The
times they are a changing.
