Antigua St John's - R Allen Stanford's defense asked for a mistrial on Friday, but was denied by US District Judge David Hittner.
The jury left the courtroom before defense attorney Ali Fazel told the court the prosecution had thrown a "skunk" in the jury box.
This after suggestions during continued cross examination of auditor Morris that Stanford's audit records had been destroyed to hide his fraud.

RE: Stanford Asks for Mistrial
If the Stanford investors actually win, it will take 1,000 years (not including interest.)

RE: Stanford Asks for Mistrial
The PM said he had written a letter to Leroy King giving him 15 days to appeal the courts decisions, well the 15 days have passed so what are you doing Mr Spencer?
You famously stated that the extradition of Leroy was purely a legal decision made by the courts, then we find out you can overrule the courts decisions!
Just what is happening is this going to end up like the report into the FSRC suppressed due to damning evidence!

RE: Stanford Asks for Mistrial
The witness was Morris Hollander, and he's an accountant. The auditor in question was CAS Hewlett, and what Ali Fazel was calling a "skunk" was actually a huge pile of Knightsoil.
The issue was that CAS Hewlett's daughter destroyed the evidence of the crime, and she should be rotting in jail right now for that. Of course, we all now know what an utter waste of time it is trying to get Antigua to honor its extradition treaty, and GT is probably working on their tree frog impressions in preparation for dealing with this crime against the investors.
