SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 21 – Five men were charged
in a conspiracy to exploit
no-fault insurance program
designed to protect motor
vehicle accident
victims.
On August
28, 2023 defendants and
counsel appeared before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul G. Gardephe. Inner
City Press was there.
One
defense lawyer suggested
pushing the trial to June
2024. Judge Gardephe replied,
I think I'm all set - and set
January 16, 2024 as the trial
date, noting that it is a 2022
case (and early 2022, at
that).
Another
defense lawyer said he wants
to disclose a benefactor
payment, but not necessarily
to the prosecutors (instead,
ex parte).
On November 15,
the US Attorney's Office for
co-defendant Andrew Prime
asked for a sentence of 60
months.
On November 21,
Prime was sentenced to the 60
months, and afterwards
requested that it be at FCI
Danbury.
The case is US v.
Pierre, et al., 22-cr-19
(Gardephe).
