SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 25 – Robert Lemke is
charged with sending threats
to Congressman Hakeem
Jeffries.
On May 25,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
The issue
was when to hold Lemke's
trial. Judge Hellerstein
explained how courtrooms are
allocated amid COVID, and
suggested July 12, then July
15.
Lemke counter proposed June,
which would mean his Federal
Defender would not be
available. But he did not want
to wait longer.
Judge
Hellerstein said he has
another criminal proceeding
that he thinks will plead out.
He set a conference on Lemke
for June 8, to see that
specific day the trial can be.
The case is US v.
Lemke, 21-cr-100 (Hellerstein)
