COURTHOUSE,
Aug 24 – A US Postal Service
worker charged with conspiring
with another to steal US
Treasury checks was presented,
arraigned and released on
August 24 in the Eastern
District of New York
Magistrates Court. Inner City
Press was there.
The
defendant, with red-dyed hair
and a "Juicy" jacket on, was
brought out and sat beside her
Federal Defender.
Magistrate
Peggy Cross-Goldenberg,
formerly a Federal Defender
herself, in SDNY - asked in
detail if the defendant had
been offered anything to waive
her rights under the Speedy
Trial Act.
The EDNY
prosecutor consented to
release on recognizance - not
unsecured bond, no co-signer.
Judge Cross-Goldenberg
translated this as, Your word
is your bond.
The defendant,
with two supporters in the
gallery, said she
understood. The
case is assigned to District
Judge Vitaliano, who will see
the defendant on October 2
(pending change of date by the
Federal Defender).
Before the postal
case, Judge Cross-Goldenberg
effectuated a change of
counsel to the day's CJA
lawyer, Mr. Lee, for a
defendant changed with armed
robbery.
She asked, have
your finances changed?
He laughed and
said, I'm in jail. Indeed.
