SDNY EXCLUSIVE, May 7 – A young man charged with assault, the Assistant US Attorney said on Jews, was ordered free on $150,000 bond on May 7 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court. Inner City Press was the only media there and live tweeted:
AUSA: Defendant was freed in NY court and went on assaulting Jews. He should be detained
Federal Defender: He was upset and protesting a global issue. He should be freed
Judge: Free on $150,000 bond with the parents as third party custodians.
Then the AUSA asked for a stay pending appeal. Magistrate Judge Aaron went to chambers to call the assigned District Judge, Richard M. Berman - who quickly set up a hearing which Inner City Press also covered.
Federal Defender: Why not leave him free, pending the conference here on Tuesday?
AUSA: The defendant is a danger to the community and a flight risk, we want to argue now.
[Federal Defender conferring]
FD: OK, we'll put this off until Tuesday.
Letter is due Friday at noon.
The clerk said the defendant's name is "Tarek Bazrouk."
