Convicted former Baltimore Mayor Catherine E. {tag: Yeezy Boost 700 Black And White}But the disruption of the courts due to the coronavirus pandemic pushed that hearing back to May 14.Attorney Andy White wrote that Pugh has also since been assigned to the FCI Aliceville, a women's prison that is about two hours west of Birmingham and 900 miles from Baltimore."To require the Defendant to surrender to BOP [Bureau of Prisons] custody in Alabama, only to then have to be immediately returned to Maryland for the final adjudication of her state law charges, serves no legitimate purpose, unduly burdens the United States Marshals Service in having to unnecessarily transport the Defendant back to Maryland, could cause undue delays in the state court proceedings, and frustrates the Defendant's access to BOP programs that she can benefit from while serving her sentence in a designated facility," White wrote in a Wednesday filing.Moreover, Pugh's attorneys say they want to contest the assignment to the Alabama facility, saying it goes against recommendations in the First Step Act."An extension of the current surrender date would allow the Defendant time to petition the BOP to change her designation to a facility consistent with the First Step Act's requirement that BOP 'place [a] prisoner in a facility as close as practicable to the prisoner's primary residence, and to the extent practicable, in a facility within 500 driving miles of that residence, her attorneys wrote.The judge in Pugh's case recommended that she be sentenced to a facility in West Virginia.Federal prosecutors have not yet responded to the filing.Pugh's political fall began in March when The Baltimore Sun revealed she had entered into a no bid deal with the University of Maryland Medical System, where Pugh sat on the board of directors, to buy 100,000 copies of her sloppily self published "Healthy Holly" books for $500,000. {tag: Yeezy Boost 700 Triple White}
