In his instructions to the jury on May 1, Justice Stolz said
that Mr. DiCarmine and Mr. Sanders were not on trial in the financial collapse of Dewey but on charges that they had sought to conceal the severity of the firm’s financial situation from its financial backers.
Second Dewey & LeBoeuf Jury May Be Bracing for a Long Deliberation -
By MATTHEW GOLDSTEINMAY 5, 2017
Jury deliberations in the retrial of two former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives on criminal
charges arising from the law firm’s collapse are starting to have a familiar ring.
The panel deciding the fate of Stephen DiCarmine, the firm’s former executive director,
and Joel Sanders, its former chief financial officer, is composed of eight women and four men, like the jury in the first trial, which ended in a mistrial in October 2015.
Mr. DiCarmine, 60, and Mr. Sanders 58, are awaiting a verdict on charges
that they were part of a plot to manipulate the law firm’s financial records during the financial crisis.
