COURTHOUSE,
April 4 – A man on supervised
release as a felon in
possession of a firearm was
detained after a domestic
violence incident. On April 4
he was almost released by U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman, on legal
grounds. Inner City Press was
there.
Defense
counsel cited a case from the
District of Connecticut, US v.
Mercado, 12-cr-181.
Judge Liman
said he'd read it and other of
Judge Underhill's rulings, but
believed it was contrary to
the thrust of Second Circuit
precedents, that supervised
release is a part of the
sentence and therefore allows
for detention on alleged
violations.
During
this legal argumentation the
defendant chafed.
