In a 15 page objection that was filed Friday in Boston, the Defense Attorneys for former Correia Chief of Staff and Campaign Manager Gen Andrade, and former Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia II asked that the trial involving their clients be postponed until the end of the current pandemic, citing health risks to the lead Attorneys and others who would be in the main courtroom. 

 

The document cites issues with the virus in Fall River, Boston and the Commonwealth, and asks how those involved will be handled if someone involved comes down with Covid 19. 

 

Attorney Charles Rankin told the court he would be unable to wear a mask for an extended period.
