Former Fall River mayor Jasiel Correia looking to push back his prison report date for 7th time
Former Fall River mayor Jasiel Correia is looking to push back his prison report date for a 7th time.
According to WJAR, Correia is looking to stay out of prison while his appeal is heard.
Correia is currently expected to report to a medium security prison in New Hampshire on Tuesday after being granted 6 extensions.
On the last day he was able to do so, former Fall River mayor Jasiel Correia’s attorneys filed an appeal on his fraud and corruption charges Wednesday citing insufficient evidence and cause for a new trial.
Judge Douglas Woodlock granted Correia an extension on his prison report date to April 5th in March. Woodlock cited that the appeal filing deadline had been extended. Correia was supposed to initially report before the holidays.
After initially being convicted on 21 counts, Correia saw 10 of those charges thrown out by Judge Woodlock as he maintains his innocence.
