Remy Stuck With Additional Charges

Remember when Remy and her goons got caught jumping the boyfriend of one of the witnesses to the Makeda Barnes-Joseph shooting? With Remy already facing first degree assault charges, her lawyer tried to get the additional gang assault and witness intimidation charges dropped, but to no avail. "We were hoping that we wouldn't have to deal with those charges in this case," Remy's lawyer Ivan Fisher told reporters. "That [decision] makes it a longer trial by a significant amount." Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller ordered Remy to return to court Jan. 3, when a trial date for later in the month will be set. Remy showed up to court late, wearing knee-high, black, fleece-trimmed leather boots, a beige midthigh cowlneck sweater over black tights, a black jacket and a Gucci bag.
