| Molotov cocktail-tossing Brooklyn lawyers’ home detention revoked | |||
| 2020-06-06 | |||
Princeton grad Colinford Mattis, 32, and his alleged accomplice and fellow lawyer Urooj Rahman, 31, lost their home detention status late Friday when three federal judges ordered them returned to official custody pending a further review of their bail appeal. Mattis and Rahman were initially granted permission to stay in their respective homes after posting $250,000 bail, and an initial attempt by federal prosecutors to get that decision overturned failed. Prosecutors appealed again and Friday the federal panel decided to send Mattis and Rahman back into lock up while a final ruling was made. Defense attorneys for Mattis and Rahman blasted the decision to send their clients back into federal custody — even if it might only be temporary. “The remand of Urrooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis by the Court of Appeals is shocking and wrong,” said Federal Defenders Attorney-in-Charge Deirdre Von Dornum. “They have been at home for a week with perfect behavior, consistent with their lifetimes of law-abiding behavior.”
