When are you guys going to understand facts from one trial cannot be used in another. It also cannot be used to charge someone else that becomes suspect due to any testimony. You cannot use testimony at any trial to charge anyone.
Does that apply to RICO prosecutions as well? Seems to me that when they went after the mob with RICO, evidence produced in one trial was used to go after higher ups in another trial.
That’s not how RICO or organized crime prosecutions work - you are able to use the threat of legal prosecution or enhanced sentencing to convince a witness to “flip” or cooperate against other defendants. You get one guy to flip, then use him to get another, and so on. They agree to provide information and testimony in exchange for a favorable plea deal or reduced sentencing.
Has nothing to do with using evidence “produced” in one trial in another.
In fact, Sussman’s acquittal means Durham cannot use this strategy to further some larger investigation. It’s essentially the opposite of that.
