Chris Morvillo for Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch


FOR THE DEFENSE, SEASON 6, EPISODE 6:
Chris Morvillo for Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch

You're gonna enjoy this one. Chris Morvillo tried a 3 month case across the country for a client he represented for 10+ years after a co-defendant had already lost and after the judge said that the client had to remain on house arrest with armed guards.  And this was not for any ordinary client -- the press dubbed Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch as the British Bill Gates.  Lynch turned to Chris Morvillo of Clifford Chance and Brian Heberlig & Reid Weingarten of Steptoe & Johnson.  Chris joins the podcast this week to discuss the amazing and against-all-odds across the board acquittal. 

There are lots of podcast connections to this episode -- Brian was previously on the show as was the presiding judge, Charles Breyer.  And a few weeks ago we had Sean Hecker on to discuss a related case.  One of the things we discuss with Chris on this episode is an incredible jury instruction the defense got from Judge Breyer after the prosecution engaged in some shenanigans with the defense's summary witness.  You can read the instruction here.


As always, you can catch this and other episodes on the web or on every podcast platform, including Apple and Spotify
