"I can say there have been some threats made to him in the prisoner van and while he has been in the holding cell in Bridgeport Correctional," Ehring said.

Story:

After previous threats from fellow prisoners during trips to court, a judge has granted a request by Alan Golder, the suspect accused of being the stealthy "Dinnertime Bandit" jewelry burglar, to be brought to hearings by himself.

Since his arrest by Greenwich police in December, other prisoners have threatened Golder, 53, public defender Howard Ehring, Golder's attorney said yesterday....

... Ehring said he expected some discussion in a court hearing today on Golder's requests to have charges and evidence thrown out based on his questioning the validity of testimony of a burglary victim who identified Golder as the masked man who confronted her in her home.

Golder also argues authorities illegally extradited him from Europe, and that federal authorities reneged on a promise to put him in a witness protection program to shield him from vengeful organized crime figures due to his 1980 testimony about a Manhattan jewelry fencing ring.

Golder is being held at the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Facility in Suffield on $3 million bond and is scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford today. Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Valdes, the prosecutor in the case, declined comment on the case.
