SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 21 – A man named Acevedo was arrested and released on $50,000 bond on July 21 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. SDNY Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses held a proceeding late on July 21, and Inner City Press covered it.
Acevedo through an interpreter said he was receiving $192 a month in Food Stamps. When asked if he could afford a lawyer he said he had no money but that if he could contact his family there might be some funds.
At first he said he had not discussed his finances with the Federal Defender - who then told Judge Moses that the discussion had been with Pre-Trial Services, with him on the line.
The bail package the US Attorney's Office agreed to did not include home incarceration or detention, nor any seek-work requirement.
Belatedly, a condition of no firearm was added. And a second interpreter was brought in. The case? For now, UNknown.
