Stabroek News The stunning arrest and arraignment of his lead counsel for witness tampering may cause the start of the Roger Khan drug trial in New York to be pushed back and the prosecution has also asked Justice Dora L. Irizarry to schedule a status conference soon.
On Wednesday, Khan’s lead attorney, Robert M Simels, and his assistant, Arienne Irving, were hauled before the courts and charged with conspiracy to tamper with witnesses relating to the drug trial. Simels has since been placed on US$3.5 million bail while his assistant was granted US$500,000 bail. Both face 10 years in prison if convicted.
