Crime and Vitamin Supplement
Theft Trigger Detention Qs in
100 Centre Street

CENTRE ST,
Jan 8 –
The defense lawyer for a woman
charged with stealing $1400 in
goods such as vitamin
supplements and
over-the-counter medications
argued Thursday this was about
"necessities."
Justice April Newbauer said
she was skeptical these were
necessities, but she also
questioned why District
Attorney Bragg's prosecutor
wanted to increase bail from
$10,000 to $30,000.
(Strangely, they also dangled
judicial diversion as a
possibility).
Justice
Newbauer kept bail at $10,000,
and set the next appearance
down for March 5.
Another
defendant returning on that
date is one facing sentencing
in the interim in the Southern
District of New York, for
buying firearms in Georgia for
resale in New York. He is in a
wheelchair, and told his SDNY
judge it's due to
"prosthesis." But will the
sentences be consecutive or
concurrent? And why was this
defendant, brought in from Federal
custody presumably
MDC-Brooklyn, wheeled in
through the front door of the
courtroom by a person not in
US Marshal garb? Inner City
Press remains on the cases, in
both courthouses.
[There was
also an anti-Asian hate crime
defendant whose mother and
brother waved at his from the
gallery as he was led back
into the cell block. The offer
is one and a third to four
years. This defendant was just
back from a 730 or competency
review - a review wildly
failed by an SDNY defendant
earlier in the day.
Justice Newbauer
rounded out this afternoon
quartet by sentencing a man
initially charged with
attempted murder to three and
a half years in prison after
he was allowed to plead down.
And so it goes.]
