U.S. Attorneys Rebut SBF Allegations About Evidence Files

Odaily Planet Daily News A court document on Tuesday showed that U.S. federal prosecutors challenged SBF's allegations about evidentiary documents. On Friday, SBF asked the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to bar a trove of documents from being used as evidence in its October trial after prosecutors provided its defense team with "millions of pages" of documents two months before the trial, according to the paper. There may be insufficient preparation time. Prosecutors countered that the allegation was "misleading" and that SBF had been able to access the documents months ago through a Google account, making it impossible to reasonably claim that the government-provided material was biased against him. (CoinDesk) Earlier news, in a document submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 25, SBF’s legal team stated that if the plan proposed by the prosecutor was followed, SBF would not have enough time to prepare for reviewing evidence before the trial. The DOJ released about 4 million pages of evidentiary material on Aug. 24, along with "millions of pages of documents and vast amounts of data" for SBF to review ahead of its criminal trial. The lawyer stated that unless SBF is temporarily released, any other measures cannot properly solve these problems, nor can it guarantee SBF's right to participate in his own defense.
