MIAMI, Florida, USA – The trial date for Former Premier Andrew A. Fahie, who is charged with several counts of drug smuggling, money laundering, and racketeering, has been pushed back yet again.

The delay this time, is to make way for late motions by prosecutors which forced Judge Kathleen Williams to schedule a hearing about those motions. The trial, to be in Miami will now begin January 22, 2024, after it was rescheduled just days ago to from January 8 to January 10, 2024.  

The date was pushed after an order Issued by Judge Kathleen Williams allowed for hearings from the prosecution and defense team on several motions that were filed recently.

Fahie Attorney objected to motions 

CMC reported that Fahie’s defense attorney, Theresa M. Van Vliet, previously objected to what she described as the prosecution’s ‘eleventh-hour’ motions and contended at the time that the motions raised crucial issues for the first time.

Those issues she said, include the intention to present expert testimony and seek a jury instruction on foreign law in one instance. The delayed trial now means that Justice Williams will hear arguments relating to the motions ahead of the trial date on January 22.

Mr Fahie at the time Premier of the Virgin Islands (VI) was arrested in Miami on April 28, 2022, and slapped with drug and money laundering conspiracy charges among others, by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Mr Fahie is facing possible life imprisonment if convicted on those charges brought against him by the U.S. government.

    I was against Foy. Thinking he was going to be found guilty on all Charges. Now I have a change of heart. I think he may only be found guilty on the one account "of travel to America with intent to commit a crime. And not guilty on the rest"

    Ungratefulness is like witchcraft. A lot you bloggers are playing the hate game but time is a serious factor to change. Time longer than twine remember that. You may no know how and when but keep your eyes and ears open for life is a circle and a cycle. Keep that ever before your mind. When you are digging a ditch dig two. Take te beam out our eyes and see the real picture.
