This chapter delves into the intricate dynamics of courtroom proceedings, emphasizing the strategies employed by both prosecution and defense in a high-profile trial. It highlights the emotional tactics used in opening statements and the defensive countermeasures regarding jury perceptions and the burden of proof.
The high-stakes trial of Sam Bankman-Fried is set to begin on October 3, and the FTX founder and former CEO will have to answer for his role in the cryptocurrency exchange’s downfall, which led to billions in losses. Both the prosecution and defense are currently preparing for what is set to be a significant milestone for the crypto industry. Kayvan Sadeghi, partner at Jenner & Block and Sam Enzer, partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, discuss the differences between a civil and criminal trial, what the jury selection process might look like, and what arguments the prosecution and defense might use to support their cases.
