Jeffrey S. Pagliuca

Served as defense trial counsel and conducted record-supported examinations of prosecution witnesses. On Day 4, he examined Juan Patricio Alessi in voir dire proceedings concerning Exhibits 606 and 52, and continued Alessi's cross-examination on Day 5. The resumed cross included discussion of a possible prior inconsistent statement, which the government contested before it was read into the record.

On Day 7, he cross-examined Carolyn. His trial activity also included evidentiary discussions over the permitted scope of grooming-opinion testimony. In that exchange, the Court sustained an objection as consistent with an earlier exclusion, while stating that it did not believe counsel had intentionally violated the ruling.

A related court concern during the Alessi examination sequence described an accidental disclosure and stated that a repeat would require a different approach. The recorded proceedings also place him in defense-side matters including jury-instruction and closing-argument stages.
