SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 10 – Edward Maria was
released after a three year
jail sentence for drugs on
September 2. On September 9 he
was arrested in Manhattan
with, the DEA says, one
kilogram of fentanyl.
On September 10
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Maria, so
recently released from jail,
had retained / paid counsel,
who argued that he should be
released on
bond.
Assistant US
Attorney Kedar Bhatia argued
with with the weight of the
fentanyl and Maria's prior
conviction, he would not be
safety valve eligible and thus
had an incentive to flee that
ten year mandatory
minimum.
Judge
Moses agreed, finding that
Maria and his lawyer had not
overcome the presumption that
he poses a danger to the
community.
He was detained
(unlike, for example, UN
rapist Karim Elkorany (for
whom the SDNY US Attorney
agreed to a bail package) and
Columbia "dirty doc" Robert
Hadden.
This case is US
v. Maria, 20-mj-9664 (Moses).
