Odaily Planet Daily News The newly released court trial calendar shows that Sam Bankman-Fried’s trial is scheduled to begin on October 3, but the actual opening arguments are expected to begin one day later.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle Kudla said the Justice Department estimates the case will take four to five weeks. Mark Cohen, a lawyer representing SBF, said the defense case was more streamlined and could take up to a week and a half if the defense chose to present its case. The judge noted that the trial schedule may be extended as a result, but regardless, the consensus seems to be that the trial will end before Thanksgiving in late November. (CoinDesk)
