SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 24 – More than a
year after two soldiers
allegedly killed a woman at
the Electric Zoo music
festival on Randall's Island
in New York City, at 4 am on
December 10, 2019 they were
arrested at Fort Drum near the
Canadian border and brought
down to the Magistrates Court
of the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York. Inner City Press was
there, and published a story.
The US Attorney's Office
agreed to $100,000 bail and
that pending trial they should
have no contact outside the
presence of counsel - except
in the case of military
operations.
Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave, who approved the agreed
bail conditions, asked if the
military would be transporting
the two soldiers back to Fort
Drum. Assistant US Attorney
Dominic Gentile said there is
no protocol for that.
One
of the defendant's lawyer said
he would stay overnight at his
girlfriend's apartment in
Flushing, Queens, then take
the long bus ride to Fort
Drum. Judge Cave asked if the
bus is reliable or presents
"unnecessary temptations."
Jump cut to
March 24, 2021 and one of the
defendants appeared before
Magistrate Judge Sarah
Netburn, and it turned out
District Judge Ronnie Abrams,
for admission to the Young
Adult Opportunity Program (on
which Inner City Press has
previously reported).
After a brief on the
record proceeding, things went
non-public. Inner City Press
is voluntarily leaving much
out of this story, but remains
interesting in the YAOP
Program, and who it has
continued amid the COVID-19
pandemic. We'll have more on
this.
This case, in the
docket and calendar, is US
v. Slaughter, 19-mj
11398 (Netburn).
