Sam Bankman-Fried's Trial Faces Jury Questions and Testimony Challenges
Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyer has challenged the proposed jury questions for his upcoming fraud trial, arguing that they insinuate his guilt in fraud and money laundering. The lawyer claims that the questions contain prejudice and could result in an unfair trial. He emphasizes the importance of reminding potential jurors about Bankman-Fried's presumption of innocence. The U.S. government has opposed Bankman-Fried's proposed questions, deeming them unnecessary and time-consuming. Jury selection will begin on October 3, with the trial starting on October 4. Bankman-Fried has been in detention since August 11, and his requests for temporary release have been consistently denied.
