Menendez Seeks New Trial Over Evidence Error
Former Senator Bob Menendez has requested a new trial, citing the inadvertent presentation of improper evidence to jurors during his bribery conviction deliberations. Menendez's legal team argues that the error, which included unredacted evidence, was a significant breach that solely implicates the prosecution and necessitates a retrial. The evidence in question allegedly contained the only direct link between Menendez and military aid to Egypt, a central element of the charges against him. Prosecutors have admitted the mistake but claimed it did not prejudice the verdict, suggesting defense attorneys reviewed the exhibits beforehand and did not object. Menendez's defense, however, contends that the government's labeling error was misleading and argues that the blame should not be shifted onto them. The former senator, along with his co-defendants, maintains that the improper evidence compromised their trial and verdict integrity.
