4/4/2022MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr. as to Robert Stuckey: Bail review and violation hearing held. Defendant stipulates to certain violations as stated on the record, most notably failure to surrender to the MCC on a warrant issued by the Court based on a host of alleged violations of the defendant's pretrial release conditions. The Court finds that there is clear and convincing evidence based on the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g) that the defendant is unlikely to abide by any condition or combination of conditions of release to ensure his appearance. The best evidence that the defendant poses a flight risk is flight; after petitioning the Court to be permitted to self-surrender in Chicago rather than have the arrest warrant executed in Texas, the defendant failed to surrender as ordered and was only restored to the Court's supervision more than five months later when the U.S. Marshal was able to execute the warrant. Defendant Stuckey's flight not only violated a direct order of the Court; it also demonstrates that no combination of conditions will suffice as to the defendant because the Court's ability to enforce conditions of release cannot be assured when the defendant fails to appear as ordered. In any event, the Court finds that the additional conditions proposed by the defendanta new third party custodian and location monitoringwill primarily provide after-the-fact notice that violations have occurred and will do little to prevent the violations in the first place and will be ineffective restraints on a defendant who willfully violates a court's order to appear to answer to allegations of release condition violations. Accordingly, Mr. Stuckey's bond is revoked. Defendant is to remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshal pending further order. Mailed notice (air, ) (Entered: 04/04/2022)

10/19/2020SUPPLEMENTAL Addendum as to Steven Dyer (SEALED) (Attachments: # 1 Supplement, # 2 Supplement)(AR) (Entered: 10/19/2020)
10/19/2020MINUTE entry before the Honorable Heather K. McShain as to Steven Dyer: Per defense counsel's request, motion and detention hearing continued to 10/20/2020 at 9:00 a.m. is reset to 10/20/2020 at 10:45 a.m. via teleconference. PLEASE NOTE, TIME CHANGE ONLY. Mailed notice. (pk, ) (Entered: 10/19/2020)
10/16/2020 ORDER as to Savan Ward :By agreement and consent of all parties and pursuant to the CARES Act, all parties appeared by telephone conference today. On 10/16/20 a bond hearing was held. However, Danita Sanders, who was initially identified in the Pretrial Services Report as Mr. Ward's aunt but later identified as the aunt of another person, had advised Pretrial Services of her willingness to act as a third party custodian and/or co-sign a bond, did not participate in today's telephonic bond hearing, although she was advised of the call in number and the time of the proceedings. She was offered as the third- party custodian for Mr. Ward and as a co-signor of a bond if ordered by the court. (It may be parenthetically noted that the time of today's hearing was set in order to accommodate Ms. Sanders' schedule). After hearing argument from the government and from Mr. Saltzman, counsel for Mr. Ward, I expressed the view that given Ms. Sanders' nonappearance, there was not available a third party custodian, even if it was otherwise deemed appropriate for Mr. Ward to be granted bond and released to the custody of an approved and suitable custodian. I expressed the view that the fact that Ms. Ward had been arrested on 33 separate occasions from 1992 to 2017 for, among other things, possession of a controlled substance, theft, prostitution, battery and possession of a weapon, to say nothing of six felony drug convictions between 1995 and 2017, one felony firearms case in 1999, two misdemeanor prostitution cases in 2002 and 2003, two misdemeanor battery cases in 2010 and 2011 and one misdemeanor criminal trespass in 2011, coupled with her imprisonment on five occasions for prior felony drug cases, disqualified her as an appropriate third party custodian. I expressed the view that intimate, long standing and ongoing experience and involvement with the police would necessarily color her view of the police and her view of the need for conformity with the law. I expressed the view that her long prior and unfortunate negative experience with the law ought not and should not be ignored or minimized. Experience counts. Indeed, we have it on the best of authority that experience is of all teachers the most dependable. Funk v. United States, 290 U.S. 371, 381 (1933); United States v. Lutwak, 195 F.2d 748, 757 (7th Cir. 1952). See also Holmes, The Common Law, 1 (1881) ("The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience."). Counsel for Mr. Ward did not concur in that assessment. At least as things now stand, it cannot be concluded that Ms. Sanders would be an appropriate third-party custodian. Accordingly, the Motion for Bond is denied, and the defendant will remain in the custody of the United States Marshal Service until further Order of court.

Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing. The call-in number is (888) 684-8852, access code 5618926.#.

Mailed notice (yt) (Entered: 10/08/2020)
10/8/2020MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey Cole as to Johnnie Daniels (17): The Government has now filed a Motion For a Detention Hearing, after having agreed to release the defendant on conditions of release pending the completion of a report by Pretrial Services, and based on defense counsel's representation that the defendant had severe asthma. 254 . According to the Motion, that report would not be completed until a week after the defendant's release. Of course, a Detention Hearing could have been scheduled immediately, and did not have to await a report from Pretrial Services. Nonetheless, the Government agreed to the release, notwithstanding its awareness that the defendant had a "substantial criminal history with approximately seven felony convictions for various [extremely serious] crimes...." 254 . The Government states that the defendant has failed to comply with Court Orders as evident by a 2004, 2006 and a 2007 bond forfeiture. The Government's Motion does not contend that these matters were unknown to the Government at the time it agreed to bond or that they could not have been easily known. Be that as it may, the Government's Motion for a Detention Hearing is granted. However, the Government's request that the defendant be required to appear at the Detention Hearing in person, is denied in light of the present pandemic affecting the entire world, especially the United States. By any measure, a speculative concern by the Government that the defendant might flee if he is not required to be here in person, does not begin to warrant the potential risk to the safety of innumerable people, if he is required to attend a hearing in person. The Government should consult with defense counsel and arrive at a mutually convenient date for the hearing, which will be conducted by phone, as are most Detention Hearing these days. Counsel should contact my Courtroom Deputy, Yulonda Thomas at 312-408-5178, to set up a date and time for the Detention Hearing. Mailed notice (yt) (Entered: 10/08/2020)
