Acting Supreme Court Justice Robert Stolz provided clarity Tuesday to jurors inquiring about accounting adjustments at the core of the Dewey & LeBoeuf criminal trial.

Prosecutors have alleged ex-Dewey chairman Steven Davis, former executive director Stephen DiCarmine and former chief financial officer Joel Sanders oversaw a scheme to make adjustments to the firm’s financial records, deceiving lenders and investors. Prosecutors and some witnesses described the adjustments as false or wrong.
