NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gregory Morvillo, attorney for Anthony Chiasson and Partner at Morvillo LLP, today issued the following statement:
“As has been the case for nearly five years, Anthony Chiasson's confidence in complete exoneration is unwavering irrespective of whether that occurs next week or next year. Among its other infirmities, the government's petition does not even challenge the main reason for Mr. Chiasson's acquittal which was a complete evidentiary failure on a crucial element, the knowledge of personal benefit.”
The Government’s petition for certiorari in the matter of U.S. v. Newman was not on the list of petitions granted today by the Supreme Court of the United States. Final determination by the Court as to whether the petition will be granted or denied is expected in due course.
