07/21/2017 277 Letter re Admissibility of Settlement Agreements as to Martin Shkreli (Smith, Alixandra) (Entered: 07/21/2017)
07/21/2017 Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto:Jury Trial as to Martin Shkreli held on 7/21/2017. After the jury was excused for the day, the court heard the parties' additional arguments regarding the following legal issues: (1) Defendant's objections to the government's proposed exhibits regarding emails: the court ordered that defendant provide the legal bases for any objections by the afternoon of 7/21, and the government respond by 9:00 a.m. on 7/22/17. If offered as a co-conspirator statement, the government shall cite to evidence that a recipient or sender of an email is a co-conspirator. (2) The government has requested leave to submit additional briefing for the admission of the settlement agreements of two MSMB Healthcare investors (SS and ML), and shall do so by the evening of 7/21/17, and the defendant shall respond by 1:00 p.m. on 7/22/17. In addition, during conferences with the parties on 7/20 and 7/21, the defense argued that the government has not proffered any evidence establishing that the defendant, as CEO and a Director of Retrophin, failed to comply with corporate obligations in connection with the settlement and consulting agreements. The court encouraged the parties to discuss whether Delaware law should be presented to the jury, if at all, through a witness or a jury instruction. After the conference, the court was advised in two separate phone calls by defense counsel Jacob Kaplan, Esq. and Andrea Zellen, Esq., that the parties agreed that the government would call a witness to explain Delaware corporate law and that the parties would not submit briefing on the issue, and further, that the defendant reserved his right to call a Delaware law witness. The court has reviewed Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) Section 144, cited by the government during the 7/21 conference, and is not convinced that the plain text of this provision applies to the settlement and consulting agreements. Moreover, the court is concerned that the possibility of dueling Delaware law witnesses may confuse the jury and usurp the role of the Court. Accordingly, in lieu of either party calling a witness to testify regarding Delaware law, the court directs the parties to submit a proposed jury instruction or stipulation regarding the obligations and restrictions, if any, imposed upon a corporate officer under Delaware law, with regard to the contested agreements in Count Seven. Proposed instructions or a stipulation must cite to supporting legal authority and shall be submitted for the court's consideration no later than 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, 7/22/17.
