United States v. Nejad
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
487 F. Supp. 3D 206 (2020)
- Written by David Bloom, JD
Facts
Ali Sadr Hashemi Nejad (Sadr) (defendant) was indicted for conspiracy, bank fraud, and money laundering. A jury found Sadr guilty on all counts. Sadr motioned for a new trial, to vacate the guilty verdict, and to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that federal prosecutors for the United States government withheld, suppressed, and delayed the disclosure of a document that could have exonerated Sadr. The federal prosecutors tried to bury the document by including it with other evidence that had been previously disclosed to Sadr. The federal prosecutors failed to explain why the document was not immediately disclosed to Sadr and misrepresented the government’s handling of items seized pursuant to search warrants. The district court granted Sadr’s motion in its entirety and held further proceedings to decide whether the federal prosecutors acted improperly.
