Judge denies request to to remove ankle bracelet

NASSAU-A judge has rejected a request from an accused killer, who’s set to be tried next month, to have his ankle bracelet removed.

Berlin Belfort said he fears that his boss will fire him if he finds out he’s being electronically monitored.

Belfort claims he got a job as a delivery man after he was granted $30,000 bail for the February 17, 2020 shooting death of Kevin Storr at Toote Shop Corner. He’s been on bail since January 2021.

The prosecution objected to the removal of the ankle monitor, saying Belfort should have told his boss he was on bail.

The prosecutor also pointed out that Belfort had produced nothing to prove he was really working as a handyman.

For her part, Justice Camille Darville-Gomez said Belfort had not given her a compelling reason to remove the device so close to his trial.

SBF extradited to the U.S

Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, will be arraigned in a New York Court today on a litany of fraud charges following his extradition from The Bahamas on December 21.

After spending a week and a half at the Bahamas Department of Corrections, the 30-year-old, better known as SBF, formally waived his right to an extradition hearing, clearing the way for his surrender to American authorities.

SBF, who follows a vegan diet, lost a considerable amount of weight during his brief stay at the Bahamian prison known for its harsh conditions.

Hours after Magistrate Shaka Serville remanded SBF into custody at the prison, the Minister of Foreign Affairs signed a warrant of surrender authorizing his extradition.

Bahamian police arrested SBF at his penthouse in the exclusive Albany community on December 12 after American authorities requested his extradition.

When he appeared before a magistrate the following day, SBF said he planned to fight the charges.

However, he had a change of heart after being detained at the prison that has been routinely condemned by human rights agencies for its conditions.

In the past, American judges have given Bahamians who were extradited extra time off their sentences due to the unusually harsh conditions experienced while on remand in The Bahamas.

Meanwhile, SBF’s cofounder, Gary Wang, and his ex-girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, have both pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges and are cooperating with authorities.

$9,900 bail for man accused of murder, rape and kidnapping

NASSAU- A judge has granted bail to the man accused of killing a mother and her daughter in Long Island after prosecutors failed to try him within a reasonable time.

Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson set Nathan Harding’s bail at $9,900 on the condition that he remains in New Providence and signs in a police station three times a week.

Harding faces two counts each of kidnapping, rape and murder.

Prosecutors allege that Harding kidnapped and sexually assaulted Jane Harding, 62, and her daughter Melissa Hui, 34, before he beat them to death.

Ms. Harding and her daughter were found buried in a shallow grave on February 28, 2020, three days after they were reported missing.

Hui’s employers became concerned when she didn’t show up for work at Long Island Petroleum.

Harding’s trial was first set for May 2022, but it didn’t begin because scientific reports were not ready.

Three more trial dates were vacated for the same reason. The reports remain outstanding and the matter is set for trial on August 2023.
