Fix is in if he lives long enough

Orthodox Jewish judge Alvin Hellerstein to preside over Maduro case in Manhattan

The 92-year-old senior judge, an Orthodox Jew, will oversee the high-profile Manhattan prosecution of the Venezuelan leader, a longtime ally of Iran who has repeatedly attacked Israel and Zionism

The assignment places one of the most consequential international prosecutions in recent years in the hands of a judge whose Jewish identity has long been public and who has played a central role in some of the most sensitive cases heard by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Hellerstein appointed to the bench in 1998 and taking senior status in 2011, has served for more than a quarter-century in the Manhattan-based court, widely regarded as the most powerful federal prosecutor’s office in the United States. Despite his age, he continues to hear major criminal, terrorism-related and national security cases.
