SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 18 -- Shawn O'Faire was in
December 2019 in the Edenwald
housing projects in the north
Bronx, with 101 baggies of
crack and a co-defendant with
a gun and a Victim-1 with
bruises and lacerations on her
face.
On March 10
O'Faire was freed on bail by
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang.
The conditions were a $100,000
bond co-signed by two
financially responsible
people.
These conditions
were agreed to, and apparently
proposed by, Assistant US
Attorney Christopher J. Clore.
Perhaps there's
more to the story, in terms of
the relative culpability of
co-defendant Brian Smith for
whom Federal Defender Julia
Gatto consented to detention
on February 26.
But this was not
explained at the March 10
presentment of O'Faire, at
which Inner City Press was the
only media, beyond a statement
that the gun was all Smith,
O'Faire only charged with the
101 baggies crack. The case is
US v. O'Faire, 20-mj-1920
(Wang).
