<\/p>\nUnited States prosecutors have put forward their proposed instructions to the jury ahead of the October trial for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried.<\/p>\n
The lengthy 100-page Aug. 21 filing breaks down how prosecutors would like presiding Judge Lewis Kaplan to instruct the jury in Bankman-Fried\u2019s case based on previous jury instructions the New York district judge has given in other cases.<\/p>\n
Each of the seven charges Bankman-Fried faces \u2014 relating to fraud and money laundering conspiracy along with wire, commodities and securities fraud \u2014 were broken down.<\/p>\n
For each charge, prosecutors suggested how Judge Kaplan should present the allegations, the burden of proof or elements the jury needs to find Bankman-Fried guilty, and the evidence relating to each charge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also included were proposed instructions for detailing how the jury should examine the evidence, deliberate and come to a conclusion on whether or not to find Bankman-Fried guilty on each count.<\/p>\n
Such proposals are typical in criminal trials but ultimately Judge Kaplan will decide how he will instruct the jury.<\/p>\n
