SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 31 – Jazmyne Alyce Johns
is charged with wire fraud and
money laundering in connection
with a Texas non-profit which
got involved with "Apex Energy
International" and BBVA bank.
On March
31, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge P. Kevin Castel
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered
it.
Johns wanted to
fire her appointed counsel.
She said he does not believe
in her, and she thinks he is
working with the prosecutors.
With a
trial set for May 17, he will
stay on - but assisted by
another CJA lawyer.
The case is USA
v. Former, et al., 19-cr-781
(Castel)
