SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 13 – A defendant charged with shooting gun on Southern Boulevard in broad day light was up for a bond hearing on January 13 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Gary Stein. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag court, thread:

AUSA: The day before he was Federally arrested there was a report he had another gun that went off: he threw a person into oncoming traffic.

Judge: Any New York State convictions or charges pending? AUSA: No. [Amid this argument, another shackled defendant is led through, in MDC tan and blue laceless shoes, attempts to sit down in chair, is told No]

Defense: I don't know much about this Bail hearing is pushed into future so prosecutors can redact documents

Update: A fire alarm, now cleared, in SDNY postponed the re-start this bail hearing...

Update II: Bail hearing belatedly resumes. Defense: These reports are hearsay. The pre-trial services report does not have anything about arrests. Judge: I release you on unsecured bond once co-signers.

At the end, the AUSA said her office may appeal, presumably to the Part 1 judge, who this week is District Judge John P. Cronan. Will notice be given?
