Subject: Gupta is likely to testify Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:47 am
Former Goldman Sachs Group director Rajat Gupta will probably testify at his insider-trading trial, his lawyer told the judge after the prosecution rested and the defense began presenting its case. “I can say that it’s highly likely that my client will testify,” Gary Naftalis, Gupta’s lawyer, told US District Judge Jed Rakoff yesterday. The announcement came after jurors left for the day and Rakoff was pressing defense lawyers about their schedule and witness lineup. The judge also rejected a defense motion to dismiss the charges.
