SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 9 – A defendant who was released on bond in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on June 8 was detained in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on June 9.
Inner City Press was there.
SDNY Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn said that she was not bound in any way by the previous day's decision by an EDNY judge whose name she didn't even have.
The SDNY prosecutor said the EDNY case was only about guns; the SDNY case is about financial crimes, having access to 90 people's bank accounts and 60 cell phones.
Judge Netburn said the pre-trial services report showed a life of escalating crime and a lack of candor, ranging from the number of siblings to where the defendant went to college.
The Federal Defender - a free lawyer for a man with 90 people's bank accounts - said his client has started in a masters program in Florida.
Judge Netburn ordered him detained. The preliminary hearing, if there is one, is set 14 days out.
The case is US v. Evans, 23-mj-4617 (Netburn)
