The US government has two weeks to respond to Sam Bankman-Fried's motion for a new criminal trial.Summary
Judge Lewis Kaplan has set a deadline of March 11 for the US government to respond to Sam Bankman-Fried's (SBF) motion requesting a new criminal trial. SBF, who was convicted on seven felony counts and sentenced to 25 years in prison, filed the motion earlier this month, asserting that new witness testimony could support his case. SBF's lawyers have also filed an appeal against his conviction and sentence, which is currently pending review by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, SBF has recently become more vocal on social media, expressing support for Donald Trump and alleging political bias in his case, though the White House has stated Trump is not considering a pardon.
