Sam Bankman Fried expert witness was denied as he faces a major setback in his criminal fraud trial in the US.
Judge Kaplan said SBF's defense can try to put some of the expert witnesses on the stand, but the DOJ can still object to it.
Seven witnesses proposed by Sam Bankman-Fried's defense team may not be allowed to testify at his October criminal trial following an order from Judge Lewis Kaplan.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has moved to prevent all seven expert witnesses lined up for Sam Bankman-Fried from giving their testimonies in court.
The DOJ says that all seven of the expert witnesses do not meet the standards required by the Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16, with some failing at “the most basic level.”
