EXCLUSIVE, August 18 -
In the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on August 18, a detention
or release proceeding was held
by Magistrate Judge Barbara C.
Moses on a defendant subject
to a so-called "no bond
warrant" from Southern
District of Florida Magistrate
Judge Lauren Fleischer Louis.
The
defendant, Ms. Shamel
Alvarado, is only 19 years
old. She is charged with
stealing two iPhones worth
$3500. But while out on bond,
she was not where she told her
pre-trial services officer
that she would be. She
returned to The Bronx after 4
am, after being in Chelsea and
Yonkers.
While
Federal Defender Chris Flood
argued that there is no such
thing as a "no bond warrant,"
and that Judge Moses could and
should release Alvarado on
conditions, AUSA
Amanda
Weingarten
said she would
focus on the
merits. She
listed a
string of
violations.
Judge
Moses said she
did not have
to yet to the
interesting
academic
question of if
she could
release
Alvarado,
because even
if she could,
she would not,
given the
record. She
did, however,
order the
Marshals to
return
Alvarado to
Florida - for,
strangely, an
August 25
trial -
"forthwith."
The
SDNY case was
said to be US
v. Alvarado,
22-mj-6806
(Moses).
