U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
on February 18, a detention or
release proceeding was held by

Inner City
Press covers the Magistrates
Court, sometimes alone in the
gallery, as it was on February
18. This defendant's
name is Kelvin
Malley, and
the ammunition
charged is a 9-millimeter
Aguila shell
casing and 22
9-millimeter
cartridges.
That he was processed and arraigned
by phone and released
on bond was explained
by
that he is COVID
positive.
The case is US v.
Mally,
22-cr-29 (Hellerstein / Aaron)
Just below
this proceeding there was a
scheduled appointment of
counsel for a Ms. Blanks,
described as a witness
(presumably for the US
Attorney's Office). But Ms.
Blanks after first saying she
couldn't hear Judge Aaron over
the phone then, when he raised
his voice, said You don't have
to talk to me like that. She
called him racist and hung up.
It remains unclear in what
case the US Attorney's Office
seeks to use Ms. Blanks and if
defense counsel in that case
will get this information as
3500 material in discovery.
