Former Mayor Jasiel F Correia II Trial Set For February 22, 2021

The Second Fall River Mayor to Be Recalled, now facing 24 Federal Counts dealing with the Smart Phone App named SnoOwl, and alleged counts of Bribery and Extortion in counts 14-24 in relation to the letters of non-opposition for marijuana retail establishments, will go trial in 2021, after the first indictments in the case were handed up in 2018. 

 

Jasiel Correia II could go on trial in February, or in April, after his former chief of staff and campaign manager cut a deal with Federal Prosecutors this week; Gen Andrade will be sentenced in late April 2021. 

 

Correia's Defense Attorney, Kevin Reddington, told Federal Judge Douglas Woodlock that he ''was ready to Rock and Roll," regarding the case versus the now former Mayor.  

Federal Prosecutors at the Moakley Federal Courthouse in the Seaport District in Boston will have what could be a final witness list by Friday. 

The trial is expected to last at least three weeks.
