CONVICTED BVI PREMIER ANDREW FAHIE FILES HIS BRIEF OF APPELLANT, CLAIMING THE TRIAL JUDGE COMMITTED REVERSIBLE ERROR

ANDREW FAHIE, the convicted and imprisoned former Premier of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), serving eleven years for money laundering and drug trafficking, claims on appeal that the trial judge in his case committed error when he refused to admit evidence of prior misconduct of the undercover individual in his case. BRADY vs. MARYLAND and GIGLIO vs. UNITED STATES are two landmark American decisions that stand for the proposition that evidence of the credibility of a witness used at trial cannot be withheld from the jury, as the trier of fact.

Remember though that there was ample other evidence to convict Fahie; his co-defendants' testimony, video and audio recordings of his willingness to enter into a criminal conspiracy to allow cocaine to transit the BVI with impunity, in exchange for payments to him and others.

Additionally, there are persistent rumors that Fahie has already made a proffer, an offer of specific testimony, to the US Attorney, implicating others in criminal conduct, in an effort to receive a Rule 35 sentence reduction. Was it accepted, and is this appellate brief just a smokescreen to confuse potential new co-defendants? The mystery continues.
