Trial Transripts - Leonard Cohen's Ongoing Lies - He Sees The IRS Copied In
Prosecutor Sandra Jo Streeter Attempts To Help Cohen Conceal His Criminal Tax Fraud, Theft, Etc - An Absolute Waste Of Taxpayer Dollars
Kelly: Your honor, I did want to state on the record I did object numerous times to best evidence. I do believe that Mr. Cohen has been testifying to the contents of writings, and pursuant to 1523 he cannot testify to the contents of the writings if -- the best evidence would be the actual writings. Court: Well, I don’t believe his testimony to date has been meant as a substitute for the writing and the writing will be coming in. Streeter: Right. Court: So I think I tried to address each of the objections on its merits as I saw it, and -- Kelly: I guess my concern is there is evidence on the record of threats being made -- Court: Right. Kelly: Via email without -- I think the jury might take what he says as an actual truth of -- Court: They might. And they -- he’s testified he’s received threats. Now, if the evidence doesn’t match up, when, you know, if we get copies of the emails and they are not threats -- Kelly: Okay. Court -- then we are free to argue -- Kelly: Review -- Court: -- that he is not telling the truth. So we will get to that part of the evidence when we get there. (RT 77-78)
