Prosecutors have agreed to a request by Sylvia Ash, the presiding judge of the Kings County Supreme Court, commercial division, to remove a GPS monitoring bracelet in exchange for increased bond, as she awaits trial on federal charges of obstructing an investigation into a state-chartered credit union whose board she used to chair.
