SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 3 – Fernando Keyes was
arrested for drugs and guns
between Christmas and New
Years 2019 on 178th Street and
the Grand Concourse in The
Bronx.
On August
10 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Ronnie Abrams had
scheduled a change of plea
proceeding for Keyes. Inner
City Press covered it.
Keyes'
lawyer Thomas Ambrosio said
some issues have arisen that
he needs to discuss with
Keyes, but that given the
COVID-19 lockdown of the MCC,
he has been unable to.
He
emphasized, I am not saying my
client is planning to go to
trial. He just never some
assurances.
Judge
Abrams said she understood,
and re-scheduled the guilty
plea proceeding.
Jump cut to
February 27, 2025 when the US
Attorney's Office, on the eve
of a VOSR hearing, wrote in to
say their police officer
witness may not be able to
appear as he's "exceeded his
allowable overtime hours."
The case is USA
v. Keyes, 1:20-cr-95 (Abrams)
