FAT HOGS BAY, Tortola, VI- Well-known appeal lawyer in Florida, USA, Mr Richard Della Fera of Fort Lauderdale, has confirmed former Premier of the Virgin Islands Mr Andrew A. Fahie intends to appeal his conviction and also noted that Mr Fahie is confident “in the Lord” he will be exonerated.

Mr Della Fera, who is the appeal lawyer for Mr Fahie, appeared as a “call in” guest of The International Morning Braff on Tola Radio VI 100.5 FM on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, when he disclosed that he has been brought in to handle Mr Fahie’s appeal of the conviction that was entered in the criminal case tried in Miami, Florida.

‘Looking forward to getting conviction overturned’- Fahie’s attorney

Mr Fahie was convicted on February 8, 2024, of cocaine smuggling and money laundering charges, and is scheduled to be sentenced on August 5, 2024.

“I was contacted by Mr Fahie to handle the appeal that will be presented, following the sentencing that is coming up  on August 5th.

“The way the legal procedure works in the United States is that an appeal of a conviction can’t be filed until the sentence is imposed. So, that’s our intention, we are going to file a Notice of Appeal and appeal the conviction, and various errors we believe were committed during the process of the trial and we are looking forward to getting this conviction overturned,” Mr Della Fera stated.

Possibilities

The attorney, who has been practising criminal trial and appellate defense work for nearly 30 years in the US, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, said the two possibilities of overturning the conviction would be that the conviction is just vacated and Mr Fahie cannot be re-tried, or that there would be a re-trial, “and I am confident that one of those two options is going to come to reality.”

Host of the show Floyd Burnett aka ‘Heritage’ then asked Mr Della Fera about the condition of Mr Fahie.

Fahie misses his family & people- Attorney Della Fera

The attorney said he was happy for that question because, “I want everyone to know that his spirits are high. He is a man of faith, as everyone probably knows, he has faith in the Lord that he is going to be exonerated and he is looking forward to that moment that he receives that exoneration.”

Mr Della Fera noted that he speaks to Mr Fahie on almost a weekly basis. “I go to see him in person and I could tell you that his spirits are very high and he is very thoughtful about his people and he certainly missies his family very very much, as you can imagine.

“He misses being among his people that I am sure you would agree he very ably represented as the Premier,” Mr Della Fera stated.

    I need Andrew Fahie Attorney to get in touch with me at Cel#929-789-7608. I was allegedly part of their stink, and I am defending myself as a pro-see in the appellate court in NY. Since 2015, I was a blogger with the banner as "CHANGING PARADIGMS." Only DEATH will Stop me from exposing this Evil COBAL. I'm willing to expose what I have been experiencing being part of fighting for CHANGE in THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. PASS THE WORD!

      This man use God’s good name in a drug deal that he claim he been doing for years, paid a witch to carry out his dirty work, and still expect God to save him???!?!!?!!!!

      Oh how he conveniently forgetting this part:

      Proverbs 16:18

      Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

      Matthew 7:21 - 23

      “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

        Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

        22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

        23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

        PSALMS 103:12 -12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

        This is what I love about God, no matter what sins we may have committed, he ALWAYS FORGIVES us, once we come to him with repentant hearts. You and I don't know whether Mr. Fahie has repented and asked for forgiveness. Whatever acts he may have committed concerning a witch, that's in the past. He may have found true forgiveness with Christ, so please stop being judgmental and bringing up his past. Bear him up in your prayers (especially if you consider yourself a child of God).

        Find verses in the Bible that speak about love, forgiveness, repentance. Let God do the judging.

        Is he capable of screwing up like any other human? Ofcourse.
        Is he innocent of this? Surely not.
        Mr. Fahie needs to start by accepting reality for what it really is. He needs to accept his guilt, and plead for mercy from the courts. Stop wasting their time and stop believing in lawyers. Theyll always say yes to you and go with your flow no matter how pointless your case may be. They still get paid. One lawyer already reaped benefits knowing where thos case was headed. Dont allow another one to gain off of you as well

    In this life no one should celebrate the fall of another human being. The former Premier of the BVI, Andrew Fahie, is in prison in Miami due to sentence for crimes August 5, 2024.
    None of us knows what can befall us in the future. Those of us who have faith by grace in God our Creator and Father should pray for him and his family for the best outcome. If your husband, your wife, your and other family members were in his position, even you neighbors too, wouldn't you want the best outcome for them, if you love them? Yes you would.

    Humans are wicked by nature. Even those that we perceive are good people, in our mind, they are not good enough to deserved life, much less, freedom of conscience without guilt.

    It being what it is, I hope the mercy will be granted to our former Premier. If you and I show mercy to others, mercy will be granted to us by God our Creator and Father. Amen.

    My rights been violated at every level in the NY criminal "injustice" system: from the police dept, to the judicial system. And once I decided to expose what I was experiencing, they doubled down on trying to shut me down. One better understand what's going on with the global cobal. The UK and the USA, etc. All work together. They exchange "intel" between each other. Moreover, they still look as us as less than. You'll had better WAKE UP! The struggle is real!

    Come to think of it, if England so want to be in control of our life, have they ever made any diplomatic exchange between another power on behalf of it dependent territory? They can ask to pardon these government officials who were netted by an American playhouse wanna be drug scheme which have not affected anyone life by physical drug impact, so it's about ethics than any human suffering because of drug impact, and the government can band them from ever holding public office again, it would have shown the UK is not a big stick wielder against it's dependent territory but also benevolent, america and Russia exchange prisoners all the time, by the way is their any American citizen at balsum ghut? We can as our head diplomatic country namely UK to confabulate the diplomatic protocol that can initiate this feat, but the present government both house of parliament has to come together and request the governor carry their petition, stop being fearful of association because regardless of what crime an American commit they still exchange a lot for their freedom, even a criminal like netanyahu is allowed to speak in congress, Fahie is child's play, been enticed of wealth and trickery, if the brother was a thief, he had the hold government treasury to raid but he did not.
