SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 24 –
Clifford Taylor, charged with
possessing a Ruger firearm in
connection with selling
fentanyl, was released from
prison this month due to the
COVID-19 pandemic by U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Katherine Polk Failla.
Judge Failla to her credit
required that "the Court shall
schedule a teleconference,
with press and public access,
within 72 hours of the
Defendant's release from
pretrial custody." This was
held on April 24, and Inner
City Press covered it.
Taylor asked if he couldn't go
out for walk. Judge Failla
said, Only if it's approved in
advance. For a moment she was
gone, returning saying "I'm
sorry I got thrown out of my
own conference." Inner City
Press can relate.
Despite not being
automatically allowed to go
for an evening stroll, Taylor
repeatedly thanked Failla for
saving his life. There will be
weekly updates. The case is US
v. Taylor, 19-cr-410 (Failla).
