Mistrial In Dewey Case

The lawsuit against former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives ended in a mistrial, with the jury saying they were “hopelessly deadlocked” on 93 remaining charges after 21 days of deliberations. Three former executives with the defunct law firm were accused of plotting to manipulate financial records in an attempt to defraud bank lenders and insurance companies during the financial crisis. When the law firm declared bankruptcy in 2012 it was one of the biggest law firm collapses in the nation’s history. The executives could be charged again on the deadlocked charges.
