The prosecution’s three-month-long fraud case against Dewey & LeBoeuf’s top executives rested Thursday after calling its last witness, and attorneys for two of the defendants wasted little time in asking that the charges against their clients be dismissed.
Acting Supreme Court Justice Robert Stolz must decide whether to dismiss some, all or none of the charges against ex-chairman Steven Davis, former executive director Stephen DiCarmine and ex-chief financial officer Joel Sanders, who are accused of fraudulently misrepresenting Dewey & LeBoeuf’s financial health to its lenders and partners in the run-up to the firm’s 2012 collapse.
