A lawyer for former Dewey & LeBoeuf executive director Stephen DiCarmine on Tuesday sought to inject doubt in the minds of jurors nearing a potential verdict in the long-running criminal case over the firm’s demise.
A day after defense lawyers for DiCarmine and former Dewey CFO Joel Sanders told Manhattan acting Supreme Court Justice Robert Stolz they would rest their case without calling witnesses, DiCarmine’s lawyer, Rita Glavin of Seward & Kissel, began closing arguments in the three-month-old retrial. Prosecutors accuse DiCarmine and Sanders of misleading lenders and investors about the state of Dewey’s financial health before its 2012 collapse.
