SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 26 – The five-count indictment of NYC Mayor Eric Adams was unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court. Inner City Press was the first one in and live tweeted it - as it will his presentment, now set for Friday, September 27 at noon.  

The unsealing thread:

Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker's courtroom deputy is ready, behing large ViewSonic computer monitor. Just waiting for Judge Parker - and whatever AUSA brings the sealed indictment in...  Judge Parker's 3 law clerks have come in. Drum roll... 

All rise! Judge: Please be seated...  [She spins wheel.]  Judge: US v Eric Adams, assigned to Judge Garnett...But she is recused... [Spins again] Judge Ho. [Dale E. Ho]   

 In the afternoon, Alex Spiro filed a notice of appearance and request to be present for his arraignment on Friday or Monday. 

  It was announced the presentment will be on Friday at noon.

Then Alex Spiro wrote it asking to change it, based on his schedule. Will they?
