SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 3 --
On March 20 amid Coronavirus
three defendants were
presented in a single
narcotics case. One was
released sent to a flight to
Arizona while the other two
were
detained.
Jimmy Lopez Arizmendi was the
lucky one. He was charged like
the other two with one kilo of
heroin and 40 grams of
fentanyl. But AUSA Amanda
Johnson agreed with CJA
counsel he could be bailed to
Arizona (his flight was
canceled).
Christian
Omar De La Torre Villavazo on
the other hand after a lot of
discussion was detained on
consent. Hector
Carrillo-Villa's lawyer
Sabrina Shroff said her client
would have sought release on
bail except ICE detention
would be worse.
SDNY Chief
Magistrate Judge Gabriel W.
Gorenstein said, with
seemingly sympathy, You have
to do what you think is best
for your client.
On
December 3 the three
defendants appeared before
SDNY Chief Judge Colleen
McMahon. Consent was given to
appear from Arizona, via
Microsoft Teams. Time was
excluded through March 10,
2021.
After the
proceedings, at first the case
did not appear at all in
PACER. Then it appeared, with
no filings. It is US v. De La
Torre Villavazo, et al,
20-cr-584 (McMahon).
