Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (filed Aug 24, 2022) recording an argument by Ms. Davis (prosecution) against a motion for a new trial for defendant Mr. Parse. Davis argues that Parse received a 'platinum plated defense' and that his previous counsel (Brune & Richard) made a strategic decision to keep Catherine Conrad as Juror No. 1 despite knowing her identity, a choice that resulted in acquittals on some counts. The text discusses the 'Strickland standard' for ineffective assistance of counsel.

1 MS. DAVIS: Yes, please, your Honor.
2 Good afternoon, your Honor. I'm glad to see that
3 Mr. Shechtman has conceded that other than this particular
4 area, Mr. Parse did in fact receive what can only be described
5 as a platinum plated defense with a defense team that most
6 defendants can only dream of.
7 MR. SHECHTMAN: I don't think I quite went that far,
8 your Honor.
9 MS. DAVIS: I do think, though, that had Mr. Shechtman
10 been here at trial and seen the forces that were mustered in
11 Mr. Parse's favor, he would have to admit that it is a rare
12 scene in such a courtroom for an individual defendant.
13 Your Honor, the crux of it is that defendant Parse is
14 seeking to be rewarded now for the strategic choices of his
15 attorney regarding Catherine Conrad and their knowledge of her.
16 Choices for which he has already benefited in the form of
17 acquittals on the conspiracy and the tax evasion counts. We
18 submit, as we said in our papers, that we believe that
19 Mr. Shechtman has met neither prong of the Strickland standard
20 in that he cannot show ineffective assistance of counsel and he
21 cannot show prejudice.
22 This Court in its ruling on the motion for new trial
23 regarding Catherine Conrad has already found that the Brune &
24 Richard law firm knew that Catherine Conrad and Juror No. 1
25 were the same person and chose to gamble with the jury that
