New: Following the new dictates of the coronavirus-era, a bail hearing for Genaro Garcia Luna, Mexico's former top cop accused of taking bribes from the Sinaloa cartel, is now taking place by teleconference.

The two sides are now arguing about how hard it would be for GGL to escape by car to Mexico. Defense is saying it would take him more than a day to drive down to Laredo and the border's closed anyhow.
Prosecutors are warning he could cut off his ankle monitor and disappear...

R. Kelly joins the growing list of federal inmates trying to get out of jail because of the coronavirus.
"The health risk to Mr. Kelly, b/c of his age &

NEW: Brooklyn federal prosecutors now oppose R. Kelly's request to get out of jail in Chicago b/c of Covid19. Echoing similar letters in other cases, prosecutors say that Kelly has "access to soap & cleaning supplies at no cost." They add that there are no cases in Chicago jail.
This is a trend happening around the country as described here by colleagues @WRashbaum @BenWeiserNYT

NEW: Genaro Garcia Luna, the ex-Mexican security official accused of taking bribes from the Sinaloa cartel, joins the growing list of inmates asking for release from jail b/c of COVID19.
There is at least 1 case of infection at the Brooklyn federal jail where he is being housed.
NEW: Brooklyn prosecutors oppose the request of Genaro Garcia Luna to get out of jail b/c of COVID19. Garcia Luna, Mexico's former top cop accused of taking millions from the Sinaloa cartel, asked to be released 5 days ago. Govt said today the virus wasn't enough to free him.
Prosecutors say that even though there's at least one case of COVID19 in the Brooklyn federal jail, GGL has "access to hot water and soap" and like other inmates can "self-seclude" by remaining in his cell.
