The US Government yesterday moved to petition the Eastern District of New York, specifically Justice Dora Irizarry, to have her preclude some of the defendants in the JFK Terror Plot from admitting into evidence recorded conversations involving themselves and their co conspirators.In the attorney’s motion in the court the Government stated that they want the recordings not admitted as evidence because the recordings generally constitute inadmissible hearsay when offered by the defendants.The attorneys contend that “should the defendants have no hearsay bases for admitting any recordings,Rocky Bleier Steelers Jersey, the government further requests that the Court orders the defendants to identify those bases prior to trial, so that litigation regarding the recordings’ admissibility will not delay the trial.”Defendant Kareem Ibrahim has identified 67 recordings that he may offer and defendant Russell Defreitas has identified one such recording which the US Government contends,Chris Hogan Patriots Jersey, neither has specified the evidentiary basis for admission.The other defendants have not identified any recordings that they intend to offer. DeFreitas is the Guyana-born US resident who has been implicated along with Abdel Nur, Kareem Ibrahim and Abdul Kadir in a terror plot to blow up the JKK International Airport in the United States of America by, inter alia,Devonta Freeman Falcons Jersey, exploding airport fuel tanks and part of the connecting pipeline.The US Government is contending that in connection with the plot, the defendants performed physical surveillance, made video recordings of JFK Airport and its buildings and facilities, located satellite images of JFK Airport and its buildings and facilities on the internet, and sought expert advice, financing and explosives.On or about June 1, 2007, warrants were issued in the Eastern District of New York for the arrests of Kadir,Davante Adams Packers Jersey, DeFreitas,Eddie Lacy Packers Jersey, Ibrahim and Nur.DeFreitas was arrested in New York pursuant to an extradition treaty between the United States and Trinidad and Tobago, the United States requested that the government of Trinidad and Tobago execute provisional arrest warrants against defendants Kadir,Julio Jones Falcons Jersey, Ibrahim and Nur, all of whom were present in Trinidad and Tobago on June 1, 2007.Trinidadian law enforcement officials arrested Kadir on June 1,Ty Montgomery Packers Jersey, 2007 at Piarco International Airport in Trinidad,Brett Favre Packers Jersey, as he was attempting to travel through Venezuela to Iran.On or about June 3, and June 10, 2007, Guyanese police obtained and executed two warrants to search Kadir’s residence in Linden, Guyana.DeFreitas is a naturalised United States citizen,Steve Grogan Patriots Jersey, but was born in Guyana and maintained a residence there.On June 6, 2007, Guyanese police conducted a search of DeFreitas’s Guyana residence pursuant to a search warrant issued under the laws of Guyana. |
