As expected, the US District Judge assigned to the money laundering, narcotics trafficking and RICO case against former British Virgin Islands Premier ANDREW FAHIE has postponed the August sentencing of co-defendant KADEEM MAYNARD to a date after Fahie's trial. Maynard's mother Oleanvine, the other co-defendant had previously had her date moved off, to a day after the trial. This means that both will most certainly be testifying against Fahie, in order to assure that their ultimate sentences will be reduced for their cooperation.
Fahie's legal position as the result of this action, and the fact that both of his co-defendants will be cooperating witnesses against him, has clearly become untenable, when taken with the evidence already known, and the expected testimony of an undercover witness, in a sting case that relied upon Fahie's abject greed and avarice to succeed. Whether he has chosen to go to trial because he fears physical harm in prison, should he cooperate against other corrupt senior BVI leaders, is not known, but no other reason for his refusal to mitigate his sentence as a CI is plausible.
Will he be one of those defendants who doesn't see the light and cooperate until after his sentencing? We cannot say, but right now, Fahie's actions are puzzling.
