Prosecutors told jurors in Manhattan, New York City, on Tuesday that a fired K&L Gates partner sent emails and texts that so intimidated colleagues that one slept with a loaded gun under his pillow and another moved to a different state.
Manhattan U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff cleared the way Thursday for former K&L Gates partner Willie Dennis to defend himself against federal cyberstalking charges at an October trial, but warned Dennis to abide by his rules limiting email communications.
The former K&L Gates LLP partner charged with cyberstalking former colleagues cannot be allowed to shed an ankle monitor and leave home confinement simply because he is following the conditions of his bail, federal prosecutors told a New York judge on Wednesday.
Prosecutors told a New York federal court that they find it "hard to believe" a 6.1-ounce ankle monitor caused a hernia for a fired K&L Gates partner criminally charged with mounting a nearly two-year harassment campaign against colleagues, claiming Wednesday the device shouldn't be removed because he is a flight risk.
A fired K&L Gates partner criminally charged with mounting a nearly two-year harassment campaign against colleagues asked a New York federal judge Monday to remove his ankle monitor, claiming the bulky device caused him to develop a hernia.
