Partner Paul Tuchmann Quoted in The New York Times on Sam Bankman-Fried’s Criminal Trial
On October 10, 2023, Partner Paul Tuchmann was quoted in The New York Times article titled, “‘Don’t Do That Again’: Sam Bankman-Fried’s Lawyers Under Fire From Judge.” The article discusses Sam Bankman-Fried’s criminal trial in the Federal District Court in Manhattan and Judge Lewis A. Kaplan’s warnings to Mr. Bankman-Fried’s lawyers.
Paul is quoted stating, “When the jurors see the judge interrupting one of the lawyers and saying, ‘that’s an improper question, or we’ve covered this already, you’re wasting our time,’ that creates a very big problem for the defendant.”
In regards to Judge Kaplan telling Mr. Bankman-Fried’s lawyers to research the “buried facts doctrine,” Paul says, “It sounds like he’s coaching the prosecution on an argument to make. The fact that he’s mentioning it is an ominous thing for the defense.”
