The prosecution has objected to convicted Guyanese pilot Khamraj Lall being granted bail on new money laundering and drug trafficking charges, arguing that his lawyer has presented no new evidence to support the claim that he is not a flight risk.
United States Assistant Attorney Jonathan M. Peck, in response to an application by Lall’s lawyer, Michael D’Alessio Jr, argued in a motion before New Jersey District Judge Steven C. Mannion that the same court had denied Lall bail on September 17th, 2015, when he faced charges similar to the ones he now faces.
He said that the bail application should be denied because it is untimely, it presents information and evidence that were previously submitted to the court or known to the defendant during prior bail hearings, and it fails to demonstrate how continued incarceration will impact any constitutional right.
