Stacking the trials virtually on top of one another is unfair to the defendant, according to Kevin O’Brien, a New York-based trial lawyer at Ford O’Brien Landy LLP and former assistant U.S. attorney who specializes in white-collar criminal cases. “It’s an awfully burdensome responsibility placed on the defense. And in fairness, it really shouldn’t be placed upon them. It should have been the government’s job and the courts’ job to sort these things out and make sure there’s reasonable time between cases,” Mr. O’Brien told The Epoch Times.
