Stone said that a condition of Harris’s supervised release was that he was not in possession of a weapon, a condition that had clearly been raped with the fatal shooting.

The judge also exploded before the court when Harris’s lawyer described the accusation of “rumors” murder.

“How is an accusation ears? It is an official judicial document that represents a vote of the members of the public, which must find a reasonable cause based on substantial evidence, ”said Stone.

“That is not just words,” he added. “That is a representation of the district prosecutor’s office that a large jury has been presented with significant evidence, substantial enough to have accused Mr. Harris for the second degree murder position. So, in terms of evidence, there is evidence. “

In a statement, a spokesman for the State Office of Administration of the Court, which supervises the judicial system in the state of the empire, refused to discuss Mikhaleva’s decision to free Harris in June.

“We do not comment on the decisions of the bond, except to say that in cases like these in New York, the judges have discretion when making bail decisions in accordance with the law and based only on an individualized evaluation of the accused’s flight risk of flight,” said the representative.
