Accused Carpenters Union Bribees Face April 5 Trial Judge Crotty Rules on Motions in Limine

BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 30 –  Charged with demanding bribes to join the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Salvatore Tagliaferro and John DeFalco face trial before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Paul A. Crotty - now on April 5.

On March 30, Judge Crotty ruled on various motions in limine: "OPINION & ORDER as to Salvatore Tagliaferro. The Court DENIES the Government's motion in limine to introduce the Defendant's 1997 conviction as impeachment evidence against the Defendant or any character witnesses, should they elect to testify at trial. The 1997 conviction is inadmissible for all purposes. The Court GRANTS the Government's motion in limine to introduce the two kickback schemes as subjects of cross-examination against character witnesses. The Court DENIES Tagliaferro's cross-motion to exclude evidence about the Contracting Kickback in the Government's case-in-chief. The Court DEFERS judgment on the Government's motion in limine to preclude or otherwise limit testimony regarding the Defendant's prior activities as a confidential informant."

  Inner City Press will be pushing that this in-person trial also be open to the press and public by phone, given COVID. It is not either / or. Watch this site.


This case is USA v. Tagliaferro, et al., 19-cr-472 (Crotty)
