Mangione Judge Carro Restores $50000 Bail for Scalpel While Amazon Delivery Brawler Returns to Work

100 CENTRE STREET, April 8 รข€“ In the large courtroom of NYS Justice Gregory Carro, where he held a nine-day hearing about Luigi Mangione's backpack and has set himself up to hold a September 2026 Mangione trial, on April 8 a number of defendants did not show up. Inner City Press was there. 

  One defendant who did show up got his $50,000 bail offer restored, despite being found with brass knuckles and a scalpel, along with narcotics. Now having passed his 730 competency test, he is ready for release.  

Another defendant who did not come was said by his lawyer to have gotten a serious, undisclosed diagnosis. Justice Carro proposed a new date, and ended by asking court staff about the protocol of detainees being moved upstate.  

 Down in APAR1, cases were at an earlier stage. Beyond the higher profile attempted murder of a security guard charge Inner City Press separately reported, there was a man caught with burglary tools - offered five sessions with CASES. (He declined).

There was an employee at 6 West 35th Street (either a parking garage according to Google Maps, or an Amazon delivery center according to a text-based search engine) told to stay away from the co-worker he had tangled with.

He was allowed to go back to work because, the judge said, jobs are hard to find these days. Hard indeed.
