SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, April 18- In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on April 18, a detention
or release proceeding was held
by Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron on a defendant named
Jezyl Barefield.
Barefield was
brought in
shackled, with
talk that he
had declined
to fill out
the financial
affidavit.

the SDNY
Magistrates
Court as it
has The Bronx
and DDC,
sometimes
alone in the
gallery, as it
was on April 18.
Barefield was wanted on a
warrant from DDC, not directly
from the Federal court there
but the Superior Court of DC.
But
Barefield spoke of being the
government, of being ambushed,
and mental evaluation was
ordered. See thread here:
Defendant asks,
Have you told Joe Biden about
this? I am being ambushed.
AUSA: He
was bailed on a robbery charge
but did not appear. He cannot
be trusted, look at his
demeanor.
Federal Defender:
He should be released.
Defendant:
If I am the government, I get
to speak, correct?
Judge Aaron: I
order you detained

research finds that the
warrant was issued by DC
Superior Court Judge Rainey
Brandt on October 27, 2020 on
a charge of taking an iPhone 7
Plus from a victim's backpack
on the 1200 block of G Street
in Washington DC. Barefield's
lawyer in DC Karen Minor said
she was not able to get in
touch with Barefield.
