SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 22 – Thomas Baker is
charged with being part of a
trio which robbed a bread
truck and shot its driver in
April 2020 amid the
Coronavirus pandemic.
On July 22 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Liman
recounted that he had received
but not reviewed an ex
parte, pro se letter
from Baker - he "sen[t] a copy
of the letter by email to
counsel for Mr. Baker without
having reviewed it or taken
action on it" - a tip of the
hat to the (non) "judicial
document" doctrine at issue in
a higher profile FinCen leak
case before SDNY Judge Gregory
H. Woods, where the defendants
letters were reviewed and
action was taken on them, see
here.
Baker, like
Joshua Schulte, Balde and
others, is contesting the jury
pool used to indict him.
The case is US v.
Baker, 20-cr-288 (Liman)
