Magistrates Court Exclusive: I'm just back from 2 hours in SDNY Mag Court, case of a NYC-based literary agent arrested for cyber-stalking & threats. She's required pending trial to wear a location monitoring bracelet. It was too late, so US Marshals took her 1/x 
As the Marshals shepherded the literary agent toward the holding cell, she banged on the table & yelled, I'm not violent, &, I am not done talking with my lawyer (a Federal Defender). Earlier in the proceeding it was said she draws $6000/month from inheritance 2/x
The literary agent was described as having 2 passports, Poland (mandatory consular notification) and Canada (optional), and as driving 107 mph from Minnesota to NY, then supposedly traveling to DC at the same time as stated Victim's brother from UK was there 3/x
The judge said, I am not going to remand you, notwithstanding Pre-Trial Service's recommendation. But since it is too late for the GPS bracelet, you will be the guest of the government overnight. The Federal Defender said, What about COVID? 4/x
The judge asked, Is she vaccinated?
After some whispering, the answer was yes. (Earlier, the judge told the literary agent to raise her mask back up). The Federal Defender said things are so crazy in the jails with COVID they might not bring her back tomorrow 5/x

One of the Marshals said they will bring her back, as long as the prosecutors email the Marshals tonight. It seems that will happen. After the judge left, with Inner City Press the only person in the gallery, the banging on the table began. The judge was told 6/x
