SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 28 รข€“ A defendant charged as a felon in possession of a gun was the subject of a bail fight, which he lost, on July 28 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:

defendant is charged as felon in possession of a firearm, AUSA says he "stole" where he is living and "is selling SKYRIZI, it's incredibly expensive... He should be detained."

Judge: How about home detention?

AUSA: He's about to be evicted. He previously passed a gun to a minor.

Federal Defender: We request $50,000 bond signed by two people. Sure there's a lengthy criminal history but this gun charge is non-violent

 Judge: In this case, I find no condition that I could impose to protect the community and ensure return to court. He's young but has a long criminal history, escalating. He has orders of protection, anger issues and lack of stable housing. Detained.

The case is USA v. Nieves, 1:26-mj-3038 (Parker)
