SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, June 17 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on June 17, a detention
or release proceeding was held
by Magistrate Judge Jennifer
E. Willis on a defendant
charged with selling fentanyl
disguises as oxy, 4.5 kilos of
it.
The
Assistant US Attorney argued
for detention of Richard
Stuart, noting his five
convictions for failing to
register as a sex offender.
But his
Federal Defender said he has a
solid place to live in
Landers, California, on land
he is buying on installment,
in an RV half buried in sand.
Mid-proceeding his girlfriend
Margaret Janes showed up in
the Magistrates Court, where
only Inner City Press was in
the gallery. It live tweeted,

The Federal
Defender said she had left
their car down on St. James
with their dogs in it - and
the windows rolled down.
Judge
Willis said there were
conditions for release, on
$30,000 unsecured bond. In
California Stuart will not be
able to go near airports -
except the Johnson Valley
Airport where he buys his
water from a well.
Since he
was found eligible for
appointed counsel, Judge
Willis said the US could pay
to fly him. But he and
Margaret will drive, over the
next week, calling in each
day.
The case is US v.
Stuart, 22-mj-5092 (Willis)
