LITERARY SDNY,
Oct 10 -- Tenth day of October
and in the SBF trial, Caroline
Ellison took the stand.
She'd come into
the building hiding under a
baseball cap, and when she'd
leave it would be into the
wrong car on Worth Street, the
pazzarazzi pursuing her and
her apparently inept encourage
through the traffic.
Some asked, Why
hadn't the prosecutors taken
care of this? At least
provided some pointers?
On the
stand, Ellison was crisp and
to the point, saying "That's
right, that's right" again and
again. But this was only the
direct examination. Each of
these stories would be picked
at on cross examination.
You gotta *work*
for that 5K letter. And it
would be this same judge, when
the time came, deciding just
how substantial Ellison's
assistance had been.
SBF's
lawyers, perhaps sensing how
badly this was going for them
or trying to rattle Ellison in
advance - the wrong-car
retreat indicated that might
be possible - began to object
to more and more questions, as
compound, lacking foundation,
assuming facts not in
evidence.
Judge
Kaplan swatted most but not
all of these objections away.
But he did not, as he had on
Friday, admonish Team SBF,
even during Everdell's renewed
cross examination of Gary Wang
in the morning.
Gary Wang
floated out of the courthouse
virtually unnoticed when he
was done, now that Caroline
had arrived. The house he
bought was in St Kitts; the
judge asked why he had signed
for so many loans without
knowing what they were.
Caroline on
the other hand had gotten a
$20 million bonus - and made a
$100,000 loan to parent. A
loan.
At day's end
SBF's parents came through the
SDNY lobby to get their
phones. Had those phones ever
been imaged and searched?
