The delay in court proceedings also can be difficult for the accused, said Mineola defense attorney Dennis Lemke.

He represents Pollock, along with one of seven Long Beach teenagers accused of gang assault following the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old Oceanside High School student Khaseen Morris in September — clients he said “want to move forward” with their cases.

Since last year, Morris’ family has been diligent about attending court conferences for the Long Beach teenagers and for Tyler Flach, 19, of Lido Beach, who’s charged with killing Morris in the afterschool brawl.

All of the defendants previously pleaded not guilty. They have no court dates scheduled for at least the next several weeks.

In the meantime, members of the three-generation Morris household have been observing stay-at-home advisories in their Oceanside residence as photos of Khaseen remind them how he would have been able to lift their spirits during this challenging time.

“We’re together but I think we’re all feeling it a little extra right now,” said Keyanna Morris, 30, the victim’s oldest sister.

Morris said she thinks about how Khaseen would be preparing to graduate high school, and how his presence is missed when the family gathers on the couch to watch movies.

The Oceanside woman said her late brother’s belongings remain as he left them and sometimes family members will take a quiet moment alone and just lay on his bed.

While the court delay has been a reprieve of sorts, Morris said her family knows it is only temporary as they wait to see if the criminal prosecutions will give them any closure.

“It’s just like pending,” she said.

A Nassau County judge rejected a defense request to dismiss Tyler Flach’s second-degree murder conviction or reduce it to manslaughter on Tuesday and sentenced the Lido Beach resident to the maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison for the 2019 fatal stabbing of Khaseen Morris.
