SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 11 –
Neil Cole was indicted in 2019
for securities fraud and
"improperly influencing
audits" of Iconix Brand Group.
On August 11,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Edgardo Ramos held
another pre-trial conference.
Inner City Press covered it,
as it had the one on July
7.
The case had been
scheduled for trial on May 11,
but that was pushed back due
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On August
11, Judge Ramos explained that
more delay was inevitable.
Cole spoke for himself,
bemoaning that being in limbo
made him unemployable and
saying this could not be what
the Speedy Trial Act means.
And yet
time was excluded, again, to
February 8 - which is only a
"control jury trial date."
On July 7,
defense counsel had asked,
Where are we in the queue?
Judge Ramos was not able to
say with certitude. A new
conference was scheduled, for
August 11 at 11 am.
The case is US v.
Cole, 19-cr-869 (Ramos)
