Biography

Fred Fernandez was a Revolutionary Action Movement member named in the 1967 New York criminal-anarchy prosecution. He also faced a separate federal prosecution following his February 1971 arrest over a Queens bank robbery. A 1972 prisoner letter includes his signature in the West Street section. Federal appeals document two overturned convictions and a dispute over witnesses who identified someone else as a robber. His final case outcome, release date and total time in custody have not been verified. The bank-robbery allegation is recorded as a separate case, rather than treated as proof of a RAM operation.
