Bob Menendez seeks a new trial after prosecutors revealed that some factual information they were ordered to exclude was included in trial exhibits, potentially affecting the verdict of his bribery case.
Bob Menendez has asked a judge to set aside guilty verdicts that forced his resignation from the U.S. Senate and grant a new trial Bob Menendez asked a judge Wednesday to set aside guilty verdicts that forced his resignation from the U.S. Senate and grant a new bribery trial.
Earlier this month, prosecutors revealed in a letter to Judge Sidney H. Stein that they had discovered that some factual information that the judge had ruled should be excluded from several trial exhibits was instead inadvertently loaded onto a computer used by jurors to reach their verdict. They also said there was a "reasonable likelihood" that no jurors saw the erroneously redacted versions of the exhibits and that the documents could not have prejudiced the defendants anyway because they were of "secondary relevance and cumulative with abundant properly admitted evidence."
