SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Nov 14 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on November 10, a
detention or bond proceeding
was held by Magistrate Judge
Sarah L. Cave on a 68 year old
defendant charged with twice
recently shooting a gun on the
streets of The Bronx.
Inner City
Press was there, the only
media in the Mag Court.
The
defendant Walter Moore,
according to the Assistant US
Attorney, had fired a gun on
June 14 by 4702 White Plains
Road, under the elevated
train. A bullet shattered the
door of a bodega. It was three
in the afternoon.
Then, the
AUSA said, Moore again fired a
gun on September 19 in front
of the building where he
lives. He asked for detention.
The
Federal Defenders emphasized
his age, and that he had just
spent 10 years on New York
State probation, without
reported incident.
Yes, the
AUSA said, after serving 25
years in prison for hitting a
woman with a pipe and throwing
her out the windows.
Judge Cave
said that once Moore got a
co-signer, and his house
checked for installation of
GPS tracking, he could be
released.
The AUSA
asked a stay, in order to
appeal. At first Judge Cave
said a stay was unnecessary,
since Moore will lacked the
co-signer and home visit. But
after some phone calls, the
stayed was extended.
On November 14,
District Judge Valerie E.
Caproni heard the appeal, and
Inner City Press was there.
Two videos were shown of the
June 2022 shooting - a young
man went into the bodega,
words were exchange, Moore
fired at him and another young
man who both ran down the
sidewalk toward City Lane
Farmacia.
The
Federal Defender, when asked
why the two were shot at, said
the Moore "understands them to
have raped his girlfriend."
Judge Caproni said even if it
were true, Moore can't hunt
people. She noted he spent
$1600 on a gun, while on a
limited income. There was also
the still unexplained shooting
at 740 Cranford Avenue where
he lives.
Judge
Caproni ordered Moore
detained, but issued detailed
medical instructions about his
disks and kidney.
Inner City
Press will stay on the case.
It is US v. Walter Moore,
22-mj-8937 (Cave).
