“This has been done only to bear it and without the slightest legitimate target of law,” said defense lawyer Karen Friedman Agunefilo and Avi Mosquitz.
The defense file said: “The United States Prosecutor, in addition to law enforcement employees, and the highest elected official in New York City, have seized every opportunity to control the chances of Mr. Manager to obtain a hearing in the major jury and fair legal procedures in this death penalty.” “The status of their political agendas, and its political agenda over the constitutional guarantees that affirmed every criminal defender, especially those facing the death penalty, violates the form of the constitution, the federal rules of criminal procedures, the local rules of this court and the traditional concepts of fairness.”
