EDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Sept 21 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of New
York on September 21, a
detention or bond proceedings
was held by Magistrate Judge
Sanket J. Bulsara on two
defendants. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the Mag Court, in EDNY too.
The
defendants were Christian
Caicedo and Yhonny Alvarez
Rivera, charged with cocaine
sales in NY and NJ. Caicedo
was assigned a Federal
Defender, and was released on
$50,000 bond after Judge
Bulsara spoke by phone with
his wife, a bartender, and his
aunt, who last spoke with him
in December.
Yhonny
Alvarez Rivera, assigned a CJA
and using a Spanish language
interpreter, was detained,
without prejudice to applying
at a later date for bond.
After this was decided, Judge
Bulsara asked if he'd mind be
taken back into the holding
cell, so that interpretation
was no longer needed.
The
interpreter to her credit said
she could sit behind him and
whisper, simultaneous
interpretation.
If the
Marshals agree, Judge Bulsara
said. They did.
As this
proceeding ended to move to
another, with an SDNY-based
CJA, Caicedo was given a
plastic bag of his belongings
and case, and Alvarez Rivera
was led back into the holding
cell.
Inner City
Press is covering EDNY, in
person, and has asked for the
ability give to others to
report in real time. We'll
have more on this.
This case is US
v. Caicedo and Alvarez Rivera,
22-mj-1029 (Bulsara)
