SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 5 –William Taylor and
Parker H. Petit were charged
with conspiracy to commit
securities fraud with respect
to MiMedx.
On October 5 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jed S. Rakoff held a
pre-trial proceeding. Inner
City Press covered
it.
Judge Rakoff
answered more than 30
questions, ranging from
whether paper exhibits will be
accepted (they are not favored
but will be accepted on
cross-examination) to if the
defense lawyers could bring
food in.
Judge
Rakoff noted that the SDNY
cafeteria is open, and he
doesn't expect lawyers to
bring food into his courtroom.
He said to expect an audio
feed - as it should be,
despite a recent audio-less
sentencing in EDNY, here - but
not a defense lawyer's "war
room" like T-Mobile had in
their antitrust bench trial
last year.
At the end of the
proceeding it emerged that
there may be a request to put
off the whole thing.
Judge
Rakoff said he wouldn't
prejudge it. But Inner City
Press would not get on this
motion being granted.
The case is US v.
Petit et al., 19-cr-850
