SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 13, Exclusive – A man
served 25 years in New York
State prison under another
man's name. On October 13, he
was arrested and detained
again, for now, for using the
other's
man.
On October
13 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press alone covered it.
An elderly
looking man in a maroon hooded
sweatshirt was brought out by
the U.S. Marshals.
The
Assistant US Attorney said he
had been falsely using the
name Calvin Johnson for forty
years, and is wanted in the
Middle District of
Florida.
Judge
Netburn asked, But how is he
supposed to get there? Without
identification?
The Federal
Defender pointed out the 25
year sentence and that he was
taken off lifetime parole. She
said it was unlikely that her
client could find anyone to
co-sign a bond.
After taking a
break with Pre-Trial Services,
Judge Netburn returned and set
condition to be met before
release: a home visit by
Pre-Trial Services, GPS
moitoring, and a $25,000 bond
with one financially
responsible person co-signing
it within two weeks.
Inner City Press
will continue to follow the
case.
While not yet
appearing in PACER, even after
the proceeding, the case was
said to be US v. Johnson,
21-mj-9771 (Netburn).
