OK - back in Mag court, 3 young defendants charged with armed robbery of a smoke shop in The #Bronx. Their parents are here - they don't seem like college professors, but they would sign to get sons released. Thread below
US Attorney's Office is seeking pre-trial detention of all three: their "trashing of the smokeshop" is cited. Hard not to compare this to agreed release today of Sam Bankman-Fried. What did #SBF trash? Discuss : )
Defendant Morgan's mother works for NY Housing: his stepfather works construction. Neither is a college professor. Morgan himself worked for FedEx and UPS - not for #FTX
Defendant Pozo has been ordered into pre-trial detention. His father is a porter [not a college professor]
