A man named William Martell Lebron was detained by ICE agents in the middle of his jury trial in Boston on charges of providing false information on a license application. This led to the case being dismissed by a state judge based on claims of prosecutorial misconduct. The judge found the ICE agent in contempt of court and ordered Martell Lebron to be returned to court to stand trial. The defense attorney accused the state of being involved in a plan to deport Martell Lebron, calling the incident obstruction of justice.
The Suffolk District Attorney’s Office expressed dismay at ICE’s actions, stating that they were surprised by the disruption caused to the trial. They insisted that their intention was to try Martell Lebron and hold him accountable for the alleged crimes. The district attorney’s office claimed that they contacted ICE as soon as they learned of the detention and requested his immediate return to court.
Martell Lebron’s lawyer alleged that prosecutors were aware of ICE’s plan to take his client into custody but failed to inform him. The lawyer also mentioned that ICE claimed Martell Lebron is a Dominican national using an alias.
Ultimately, the judge ordered ICE to return Martell Lebron to stand trial, emphasizing that the federal authorities should not have interfered with the efforts to hold him accountable for the crimes alleged. The case was dismissed based on the allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and obstruction of justice.
