SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 2 – Pedro Reynoso,
detained since July on drug
charges, has repeated sought
to be released on bond.
On September 2
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Denise L. Cote held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Reynoso's lawyer
Guy Oksenhendler sounded
frustrated; Judge Cote told
him to keep his volume down.
The issue
revolved around Reynoso having
listed two different
girlfriends as placed he could
stay. Pre-Trial Services
expressed scepticism that one
of the two knew the
defendant's full
situation.
Judge Cote
went further, asking Pre-Trial
to interview the woman, make
sure she is on the lease of
the apartment and ascertain if
she is under "community
pressure" to take Reynoso in.
Oksenhendler
asked that a next hearing date
be set, saying he has a right
to an on the record
ruling.
Judge Cote
countered that a hearing will
be held if necessary, that she
could simply rule on the
application. Pre-Trial
Services' letter is due in a
week.
The case is USA
v. Reynoso-Hiciano et al.,
20-cr-388 (Cote)
