COURTHOUSE, Sept
9 – A defendant accused
of participating in a machete
and bb-gun robbery of a
convenience store was up for a
bond hearing on September 9
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Stewart
D. Aaron. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag court.
Judge
Aaron asked the prosecutor
what evidence he had against
this defendant, beyond a
cooperator identifying him at
the person in the mask in
images not available to the
public or press in the
indictment.
The
Assistant US Attorney,
referring to these same
images, referred to black and
white shoelaces.
After
taking a break with Pre-Trial
Service, Judge Aaron ordered
the defendant released on
$50,000 bond with
co-signers.
The AUSA
asked for a stay in order to
appeal to the assigned
District Judge George B.
Daniels, and that was
granted.
The case
is US v. Perez, et al.,
24-cr-528 (Daniels / Aaron)
