Alleged New York City subway gunman Frank James improperly searched, defense lawyers say

On Tuesday, without alerting his lawyers, FBI agents entered his cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn"questioned him, took multiple buccal swabs of his DNA, and directed him to sign certain documents," according to a letter to the court from Mia Eisner-Grynberg and Deirdre von Dornum of the Federal Defenders of New York.

"Contrary to standard practice, the government committed this intrusion absent advance notice to counsel, depriving us of an opportunity to be heard or to be present. Neither did the government provide subsequent notice to counsel. The agents did not provide Mr. James with a copy of the warrant or a receipt, in violation of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure," the letter said.In this file photo taken on April 13, 2022, Frank R.

The attorneys said the government failed to explain why it deviated from standard procedure and only provided a copy of a search warrant when the attorneys asked after the fact. They accused the government of violating James' constitutional rights. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, which has charged James with one terror-related count, declined to comment.Prosecutors were given until early next week to respond.

The defense attorneys said they would seek to suppress whatever statements James made to the agents this past Tuesday and asked the judge to order the government to turn over a copy of the affidavit that served as the basis for the search.

Way to fuck up yet again pigs. Actions like this are why it’s morally right to ambush them.

Did he hire this guy?

Lawyers are the bottom of the barrow of humanity. Illegally searched. Give me a break. Lawyers hurt our country more than any other career segment.

Welp, that seals it for me. Let him walk.

Defense attorneys say a lot of things lol

That would make him free

Don't care.

“We won’t ignore what our intelligence agencies have determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland today: White supremacy is terrorism, and we’re not going to ignore that either.” -Joe Biden address to congress

I hope this isn't true. There is no excuse for crimes to go unpunished because officers cut corners. Hopefully, this is primarily defense hype

IF HE WERE OTHER THAN BLACK THERE WOULD BE LOTS OF TALK ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS WHICH IS APPARENTLY CLEAR IN THIS MAN.

Just put him down
