Four former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives filed new court papers late last week asking Supreme Court Justice Robert Stolz (See Profile) to throw out charges of grand larceny and fraud linked to the firm’s 2012 collapse, claiming Manhattan prosecutors failed to produce evidence of criminal intent and incorrectly instructed a grand jury about accounting rules the men are accused of abusing.

Dewey’s former chairman, Steven Davis, former executive director Stephen DiCarmine, former chief financial officer Joel Sanders and former client relations manager Zachary Warren filed their reply papers on Friday following the Manhattan District Attorney’s response to their previous motions to dismiss the indictment.
