FEDERAL COURT, March 5 – Minutes into a break in the impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate, insurrectionist Domenic Pezzola was ordered detained until trial by Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather. Inner City Press live tweeted it, below. There was an appeal.
Now on March 5, former U.S. State Department official Fransisco Klein was heard but remains detained at least until March 9, citing cockroaches in his jail. Inner City Press live tweeted it here:
...Case is against a former US State Department employee, Frederico Klein, before DDC Magistrate Faruqui. Klein is trying to hire / pay his own lawyer.
While Klein is trying to hire his own lawyer, counsel for today says "This is not a crime of violence."
They're trying to set a detention hearing - but for next week, so whomever he retains has time to prepare. Klein worked for State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere
Judge Faruqui: Mr Klein, try to get your lawyer by Tuesday. Klein: So I remain detained until then? Can I find a place to sleep where I don't have cockroaches climbing on me? Judge Faruqui: If there's a problem with conditions, I will reach out to the jail.
Replying to @innercitypress Judge Faruqui: Let's get the pre-trial report to him. Klein: OK, thanks.
Judge Faruqui: We'll reconvene Tuesday afternoon. The parties are excused.
We'll have more on this.
