SDNY MAG COURT EXCLUSIVE, Jan 20 - In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 20, a detention or bond proceeding was held by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on a 34-year old man charged for a role in two armed robberies, one on Christmas Eve (with a shotgun) and the second on December 26.
The defendant, Francis Shane, said through his Federal Defender that he is or was slated to begin a job at Bronx Lebanon Hospital on February 10. Judge Moses quizzed the Assistant US Attorney if the jacket she said was in the surveillance video and in Shane's home when he was arrested was, while distinctive, not bespoke or unique. (The Federal Defender said it could be bought on Canal Street today, as a knock-off).
It was said Shane's mother would sign a $50,000 bond, with a NYC Board of Education pension. Other co-signers were identified by name, unlike what FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried is demanding.
Judge Moses thanked both sides for that advocacy and said that the defendant would be detained. As she wrote up a medical order - on the new form, the USMS number is required - Shane said that his mother is a Jehovah's Witness and that "I finished the program."
The case is US v. Shane, 23-mj-498 (Moses), still not in PACER after the proceeding.
