Greenwald seeks test of bail law for discrimination
Wurtsboro attorney Garry Greenwald moved to challenge the states bail law as unconstitutional for a client of a public defender. Judge Newberg denied the motion but allowed a brief filing to test the law and adjourned to 9 a.m. Thursday to hear bail for Thomas Marvin Johnson, charged with two counts of third degree grand larceny. Johnson, returned from Baltimore, faces $5,000 bail amid claims by Dist. Atty. Scheinman that he is a multiple felony offender. Greenwald contends the indigent should not be priced out and alleges bias against the poor.
