SDNY MAG COURT
Exclusive, Feb 3 –
The
gun-point
robbery of a
deli / bodega
on East 180th
Street in The
Bronx gave
rise to a
lengthy bail
hearing on
February 3,
2023 before
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York
Magistrate
Judge Jennifer
E. Willis.
Inner
City Press was
there until
the 7:30 pm
end, when an
order to
release the
defendant once
he obtains the
signatures of
three
co-signers on
a $75,000
personal
recognizance
bond.
NYPD Detective
Matthew
Lombardo sat
next to
Assistant US
Attorney
Brandon
Thompson, who
began by
saying that
release to the
apartment
right across
180th Street,
where the
defendant had
been living,
would not be
acceptable.
He
added that
residence
further away
might be
acceptable to
the US
Attorney's
Office.
Beyond the
robbery of the
180th Street
store, which
was caught on
video,
Thompson
referred to
previous armed
robberies
which the
Bronx District
Attorney had
charged and
then dismissed
- due, he
said, to
witnesses
being too
afraid to
testify.
Judge Willis
said this
information
could not be
relied on, and
that on the
particular
offense
conduct in the
complaint, the
defendant
could be
released but
must stay at
least ten
blocks away
from the
bodega.
