The lawyer for New York-based Guyanese businessman, Ed Ahmad is now seeking a November, 2016 date for his sentencing for mortgage fraud conspiracy.
In a letter dated yesterday to New York Judge, Dora Irizarry Steven Kartagener sought the deferral from September 14, 2016 because of the postponement of the sentencing of former New York State Senator John Sampson to September 22, 2016. Ahmad was a key witness in the Sampson trial and is hoping to benefit from a sentence reduction once the extent of his co-operation is made known.
