Now in Magistrates Court, awaiting defendant charged in #Bronx murder. But first, defendant whose apartment was a drug mill. He's shackled, in shorts and white T-shirt. His wife, a bus dispatcher, is here in gallery with Inner City Press. Threadette below
Judge: Mr Diaz Mata can be released, bot only after a home visit on Monday or [#UNGA] Tuesday. Detained until then. He is led out by US Marshals. Next up, 19-cr-686, man in dreadlocks and shower slippers.
Dreads was on supervised release when arrested with gun, also on meth and Oxy, AUSA says; case being Federalized. Defense says he's doing his best. Judge says he will be detained.
Still awaiting the #Bronx murder defendant. Espinosa - last minute question if CJA defense lawyer has a conflict of interest - and if so, what next? Defendant is brought in by Marshals and, shackled alone at defense table, says into live microphone, Good afternoon
All rise!
CjA will represent his only for this presentment - so seemingly no disqualifying conflict. And no chance of pre-trial release - he's in from state custody. He's detained.
Mag week over, stories coming.

At sentencing, "Those who paid money wrongly convinced themselves that good would be done." #UN [In DRC, UN is using public's money for UNV posts UN officials trade for sex; @AntonioGuterres won't answer, bans Press, covers up.]
It's ASA St Clair, of the "World Sports Alliance." Judge calls it a scheme to defraud, using the UN. [Note: UN Spox refused to answer written Press questions about this and other UN-linked frauds. Today's UN says, Public be damned.
