Friedman Agnifilo: Mayor Adams found time to speak to HBO, in hair [?] and makeup, about this case.
Judge: You should have your motions in by April 9, People's response by May 14. June 26, I hope to have a decision by then.
comment in response to
post
Friedman Agnifilo: The theories of the Federal and state prosecutions are inconsistent, by defending this case we prejudice ourselves in the other case, and vice versa. There's a search issue back on the Altoona McDonalds. Can I make a record?

Judge: I'm dealing only with this case. I'll go past 45 days-
Friedman Agnifilo: We are speaking with the Federal prosecutors about the death penalty, it is extremely serious, we are providing mitigation
comment in response to
post
Friedman Agnifilo: We oppose a motion schedule at this time. There is a PA matter, and a Federal matter, and this NY matter. We haven't gotten the bulk of the discovery, the police files. Mr. Kaplan has not given that to us.
Judge: You got that today.
comment in response to
post
ADA: We are preparing to give the defense the DD-5s in two weeks. We'll also file an automatic discovery form. We suggest a motion schedule, given the extensive discovery material in this case.
Judge: Are you giving the search warrants and affidavits
ADA: Redacted
comment in response to
post
ADA: People provided lab reports and data extraction from defendant's cell phone. Today in court we gave the defense all police reports, photographs and Pennsylvania bodycam footage
comment in response to
post
Judge Carro: No, there is no jury here.
Friedman Agnfilo: He has been a model prisoner at MDC.
Judge Carro: For the security people here, they prefer he remain cuffed
ADA: The People have served statement and identification notices, including video, 800 gigabytes

AUSA: Did you also reach out to Quicken Loans as a prospective buyer of Frank?
Cowan: Yes. But it was Capital One, until it wasn't.

[It's fixed]

Olivier Amar's lawyer: This is really two trials. Each has to be judge separately. Olivier Amar is presumed innocent. Sometimes our government gets it wrong. If you pay attention, you will find him not guilty. Thank you
comment in response to
post
Olivier Amar's lawyer: They corrected the number to Capital One - and the next day, Capital One declined to make a deal. The JP Morgan Chase diligence period was 37 days. Mr. Amar was barely involved. He's only on six emails - and they are not about these issues
comment in response to
post
Olivier Amar's lawyer: My client does not belong in his courtroom. Stand up. This is Olivier Amar. Ok. You are going to hear about Google Analytics. You will hear how the Capital One due diligence period was longer than the JPM Chase due diligence period
comment in response to
post
Judge Hellerstein: The focus here should not be on JP Morgan Chase, but on whether the statements made by the defendants were false.
Baez: Charlie Javice will never get her good name back. But she can at least get justice.
comment in response to
post
Judge Hellerstein: This is not a case about JP Morgan Chase. It is about the defendants.
Baez: This will be a case about a website that you will never see. This data validation exercise?
Judge Hellerstein: I want to see counsel

comment in response to
post
Baez: JP Morgan Chase gambled and lost. And now they want to destroy a life for it. Excuse me. Two lives. If you Google Charlie Javice-
AUSA: Objection!
Judge: Sustained!
Baez: What's the basis?
Judge Hellerstein: The objection is sustained.
comment in response to
post
Baez: Who wants emails? Who opens up those marketing emails? They wanted a high school student online, fill out FAFSA here, open a bank account with Chase. So it wasn't about the historical users. It was about the future users. JPMC didn't want BofA to have it
comment in response to
post
Baez: All companies buy lists. Why did JPM Chase buy $175 million, if you could get it for $100,000? You have to understand what they wanted. They wanted the platform. They wanted the child market. High school students who are going to open their first account
comment in response to
post
Baez: It was Jamie Dimon, he wanted to make acquisitions, to beat out Capital One, and Bank of America. They wanted Frank and... her. Let me tell you about this remarkable young women. She was raised to know the importance of an education. She excelled
comment in response to
post
Baez: Frank was like TurboTax, for students. It was a unique tool that Charlie had thought of when she was a student. The government started requiring two factor authentication. JPMC knew it was a risk-
AUSA: Objection!
Judge: Overruled.
Baez: The rules changed
comment in response to
post
[OK - defense opening(s) begin]
For Javice, Jose A Baez: The prosecutor told you this case was based on a lie. I agree. The lie was by JP Morgan Chase, to claim fraud. You'll hear, when a certain witness testifies, that the only way out of it was by claiming fraud

AUSA: If you listen and weigh the evidence, you will find Charlie Javice and Olivier Amar guilty. Thank you.
Judge Hellerstein: Let me see defense counsel at sidebar.
comment in response to
post
AUSA: The house of cards fell down. We'll show you the real data from Frank's files, showing 400,000 users. You'll see the defendant's lies written down in black and whites. You'll see emails from Javice and an inflated spreadsheet. You'll hear from employees
