The Prosecutor Lies To the Jurors That Kelley Lynch Has The Tax Information She Has Been Requesting
Prosecutor Sandra Jo Streeter: And indeed one of the things, the evidence will show, that she talks a lot about is tax fraud and the need to have the tax return. But the people will submit to you or show to you that this so-called business relationship, or not honoring their business relationship, indeed the most important thing that she mentions every so often the tax statement is merely a ruse. For example ... the evidence you will see ... that Ms. Lynch specifically asked for her K-1 form ... Let’s talk a little bit about Ms. Lynch’s need for the tax form or tax returns -- the evidence will show that Ms. Lynch was Mr. Cohen’s business manager. The evidence will show that Mr. [sic] Lynch -- Mr. Cohen has no clue as to what a W-2 form is, a 1099 9is, a K-1 form. The evidence will show that Ms. Lynch is the one that had all of that information, knew all that information. Mr. Cohen did not have it, does not have it and does not understand what it means. Okay.

Leonard Cohen Testimony: Q: Now, there is a mention of the K-1. The people ask you about some other documents. Do you know what a W-2 is? A: W-2? No, I don’t. Q: How about a 1099? A: A 1099, yes, is issued by an employer to an employee. Pages 83-84.
Leonard Cohen Testimony Continued. Page 280: Q: Okay. Now, do you know what a K-1 is now? A: I have a perfect -- a sense of what it is, but I wouldn’t be able to teach it. Q: Okay. And is it fair to say that you’ve gotten emails through the years referencing a K-1. A: That’s correct.
