Charlie Javice's attorneys filed for a mistrial in her fraud case, asserting her right to a fair trial was compromised when her opening statement time was unexpectedly shortened. They claim this restriction violated her constitutional rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, limiting the ability to present her case effectively to the jury. Additionally, they argue that the jury instructions regarding wire fraud were misstated, failing to emphasize the required standard for proving material misrepresentations, which is crucial for their defense.
Our motion for a mistrial was based on the fundamental principle that Ms. Javice has a constitutional right to a fair trial, which includes adequate time for her counsel to present a full and complete opening statement.
The abrupt and unexplained reduction in our time significantly hindered our ability to provide the jury with a clear and comprehensive presentation of the facts and legal arguments central to this case.
