Disgraced Ozy Media CEO in ‘Constant Fear’ of Prison Cellmate: Lawyer
An olive green prison uniform replaced the suit and tie that Harvard-educated Carlos Watson wore during his eight-week trial for a multi-million dollar fraud while running a buzzy media start-up.
He no longer bore the flashy smile he maintained before he was convicted and immediately incarcerated in the hellish Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) last week.
Instead, he looked absolutely terrified in Brooklyn federal court on Friday as his hope not to spend another day in the notorious Brooklyn facility dwindled before his eyes; Magistrate Judge Vera Scanlon said she needed more supporting documents and surety signatures before ruling on his renewed bail application.
