SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, August 10 -
In the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on August 10, a
presentment proceeding was
held by Magistrate Judge
Robert W. Lehrburger on a
woman, referred to as
Francisca Paredes, who had
been arrested on a warrant
from a 1996 Federal case in
Puerto Rico.
There was a
problem, however. There was
not affidavit alleged that she
was the person sought. After a
time a solution was arrived
at. The woman would be
released on her own
recognizance -- rare in SDNY
-- with no bond or conditions.
The
Federal Defender asked for the
warrant she was arrested on to
be dismissed or modified.
Judge Lehrburger said no, who
knows, she might still get
arrested if an affidavit is
produced. She was released.
The case in
Puerto Rico is US v. Olivares
et al., 96-cr-251 (District of
Puerto Rico)
