Charged With Crack Conspiracy In The Bronx Martin Ross Now Has August 2021 SDNY Trial

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 21 – A crack cocaine conspiracy with then only one defendant was alleged in December 2019 to be taking place around 168th Street and Fulton Avenue in The Bronx. Jose L. Irizzary was charged in the Complaint, but it was Destiny Romero and Mikal Tariq Leahr who were arrested. 

  On January 6, 2020 Judge Sidney H. Stein of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held a conference with both of those arrested. He said, "We have somebody that is a fugitive here; Mr. Ross, correct?"   

Assistant US Attorney Jacob R. Fiddelman replied, "That's correct. Mr. Ross has not yet been apprended."   

On February 12, 2020 in the SDNY Magistrates Court, with Inner City Press the only media present, Martin Ross was brought in shackled, and left the same way.

Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger confirmed that he was being "remanded on consent," and would appear with the others at a conference before District Judge Stein.

  Jump cut to nearly a full year later, on February 20, 2021: "The trial is adjourned to May 17, 2021."

And now in March, more delay: "ORDER as to Martin Ross: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The final pretrial conference scheduled for April 19 is adjourned to August 16, 2021, at 10:00 a.m.; 2. The dates in the endorsed letter [Doc. No. 61] are adjourned as follows: proposed jury charges, proposed voir dire, and any motions in limine, are due by July 30, 2021, responses to any motions in limine are due by August 6, 2021; 3. The trial of this action is adjourned to August 30, 2021, at 9:30 a.m.; 4. The parties should be aware that although the Court is submitting the jury request for this trial to begin on August 30, 2021, the trial date may be rescheduled by the Court's Ad Hoc Committee on the Resumption of Jury Trials to another date in the third quarter of 2021. The Court will notify the parties as soon as the third quarter trial calendar has been established for trials."

The case is US v. Ross, 19-cr-913 (Stein / Lehrburger).
