Day 5 of 29

Jurors were sent home because an alternate juror was ill. Outside their presence, counsel disputed financial dossiers, emails, and other materials; the Court reserved an admissibility ruling pending review.

Full day summary

The Court sent jurors home because an alternate juror was ill, instructing them not to discuss or independently research the case and to return the next morning. Outside the jury’s presence, prosecutors proposed introducing financial dossiers and email collections through Fontanelli as evidence of the alleged enterprise’s methods, not for the truth of the financial information. The defense raised hearsay objections, alleged that Canaprobe had supplied false records, and argued that Kristin Keeffe should testify to explain the materials. Prosecutors also proposed laptop emails, reimbursement invoices, and Jness curriculum. The Court agreed to examine the materials but made no final admissibility ruling. It also rejected the defense’s attempt to control the government’s witness order.
