Summary

This document is a page from a legal analysis, likely a judicial opinion, dated April 6, 2012, concerning the conduct of defense lawyers in case 1:09-cr-00581-WHP. The author examines statements made by the lawyers in a July 8, 2011 memorandum regarding their investigation into a juror named Conrad, concluding that while the statements could lead to a false inference, they do not constitute a knowing misrepresentation or unethical behavior. The document also recounts a July 15 telephone conference where the Court questioned the defense team, represented by Trzaskoma, about their awareness of issues with the juror.
