SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 12 – In the closing arguments on March 6, AUSA Tarlow said that narco trafficking had grown under JOH. On March 7, out of the hearing of the jury and for then the Press, JOH's lawyer Stabile said he'd heard different overnight.
From who?
The defendant's wife he said.
Was this just a play for a mistrial?
Judge Castel concluded it was, and denied Stabile's motion, Order on Patreon here.
Later on March 8, the verdict, here- then the book Narco Drama in English then Spanish.
Now on March 22 Stabile has requested a new trial, on two grounds: the testimony of drug trafficking going up instead of down, and JOH's stop over in Fort Lauderdale, where Stabile says the trial should have been held. Filing on Inner City Press' free DocumentCloud here
On April 12 the US Attorney's Office opposed JOH's motion, arguing that Taul did not testify falsely, and that the venue argument, even if it had merit, was waived. Stipulation on Patreon here.
