Sam Bankman-Fried of stealing billions of dollars from customers of his FTX cryptocurrency exchange only saw «half the picture» because the judge did not allow in critical evidence, his lawyer argued in their appeal on Friday. In a 102-page brief filed with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Bankman-Fried's lawyer wrote that U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan erred in preventing the 32-year-old former billionaire from introducing evidence to back up his belief that FTX had enough funds to cover customer withdrawals. «The government thus presented a false narrative that FTX's customers, lenders, and investors had permanently lost their money,» lawyer Alexandra Shapiro wrote in urging the appeals court to overturn Bankman-Fried's conviction and 25-year prison sentence. «The jury was only allowed to see half the picture.»

A federal appeals court has revived Sarah Palin's libel case against The New York Times

federal appeals court revived Sarah Palin's libel case against The New York Times on Wednesday, citing errors by a lower court judge, particularly his decision to dismiss the lawsuit while a jury was deliberating. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan wrote that Judge Jed S. Rakoff's decision in February 2022 to dismiss the lawsuit mid-deliberations improperly intruded on the jury's work. It also found that the erroneous exclusion of evidence, an inaccurate jury instruction and an erroneous response to a question from the jury tainted the jury's decision to rule against Palin. It declined, however, to grant Palin's request to force Rakoff off the case on grounds he was biased against her. The 2nd Circuit said she had offered no proof.
