Ed Buck is asking that he be released from custody while he awaits trial, which is scheduled for January 2021.
Buck, 65, argues that because of his age (he is 65) he faces serious health risks if he were to become infected with COVID-19 while in federal prison.

Buck, a white gay man known for his contributions to the local, state and federal election campaigns of Democratic Party candidates in West Hollywood, was arrested by LA County Sheriff’s Department deputies on Sept. 17 and handed over to federal authorities. They charged him with distributing methamphetamine resulting in the deaths of 26-year-old Gemmel Moore, in July, 2017, and Timothy Dean, 55, who died in Buck’s Laurel Avenue apartment in West Hollywood in January, 2019. Both were Black men, as are the others Buck has been alleged to have paid to engage in sex using methamphetamine.

A more interesting bet is whether he’ll be semi-rehabilitated to help with Biden’s campaign, or ignored by his former political friends.
I guess he’s not within the ten year limit of a juicy little treat....so he’s not likely heading to CA. Let him rot.
These scumbags remain darlings of their democratic handlers, no matter what crimes they commit. Remember that Rep Barney Frankfurter operated a “gay” underaged brothel in his basement, and he was still held in high regard by his Party of Perversion.
I only drugged had sex and killed black men
Release???
No way in Hell.
Let Ed Buck rot.
If he’s released, the health of his victims will decline.
He needs to be put in general population so he can get a preview of the rest of his life.
p
Are such releases common practice or is Buck just special?
