A Brooklyn federal judge held off from immediately dismissing a charge against former law firm partner Evan Greebel before his upcoming trial this month, despite his defense attorneys at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher imploring the judge to trim the case out of “fairness and justice.”
Attorneys for indicted ex-law firm partner Evan Greebel and prosecutors squared off before U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto of the Eastern District of New York on Oct. 6 on last-minute requests to dismiss parts of the indictment and to preclude certain evidence at Greebel’s trial, scheduled to begin the week of Oct. 16. The hearing was still ongoing at press time Friday evening, after stretching beyond normal courthouse hours.
