SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 6 -- A defendant named
Luis Rivera charged with
shooting a man in a nightclub
in The Bronx was the last case
of the work week on Friday,
March 6 before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Kevin N. Fox.
Rivera was
described as brandishing and
firing a gun in the VIP room
of the nigthclub, grazing the
victim's neck. The US asked
for detention.
Rivera's Federal Defender
countered that Rivera works as
a tow truck driver in
Brooklyn, and had five female
supporters in the Mag Court
gallery where Inner City Press
was the only media. She also
said that when arrested on
March 4, Rivera was beating by
police officers.
Judge Fox,
who earlier in the day had two
decision granting release
overturned by SDNY District
Judges Cote and Nathan, and
one upheld by Judge Daniels,
said that while dangerousness
had been proved by clear and
convincing evidence. He
ordered Luis Rivera detained,
and no appeal was announced.
Nor was the case yet in PACER.
It is US v. Rivera, 20-mj-2593
(Fox).
