After an intensive overview of Cammarata’s arguments regarding these Counts, the Courtroom considers Cammarata’s Movement as placing forth three predominant arguments:
(1) there was a variance or constructive modification of the indictment;
(2) there was inadequate proof; and
(3) there was misconduct.
The Courtroom finds none of Cammarata’s arguments entitle him to acquittal or a brand new trial.
Level one is a bit legalize however might be damaged down into Cammarata (proper) arguing
the proofs at his trial assorted from the Superseding Indictment and he was prejudiced because of this.
This resolution was reached following evaluation of Cmmarata’s superseding indictment.
