SDNY MAG COURT EXCLUSIVE, August 18 - In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 19, a bail review was held by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on a defendant, Boss Terrell, charged with playing a role in a murder and being caught on video shooting a gun a month later in The Bronx. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the Mag Court.
Terrell had two lawyers - it being a death penalty eligible case, he has Learned Counsel - and his parents in the gallery. His father was wearing a New York Giants jersey with [Lawrence] Taylor written on it. Defense counsel said he worked for the Housing Authority until a co-worked dropped a refrigerator back on him.
Judge Moses expressed sympathy for the parents, but declined to grant bail, on both the danger to the community and the risk of flight prongs. Time was allowed for the defendant to tell his year-old son to remember him. Then he was gone.
Afterward Inner City Press gleened that while the change of being released had been very low, at least this way the defense got some discovery, for example learning about the video of the July 2020 incident.
The case is US v. Terrell, 22-cr-343 (Furman / Moses)
