Zachary Warren, the 29-year-old former client relations manager at Dewey & LeBoeuf who was indicted alongside three of the firm's top leaders, is seeking to separate his case from the others, arguing there is an unacceptable risk of "guilt by association" at trial, the New York Law Journal reported today. Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office last month said their case at trial would take four to six months. Supreme Court Justice Robert Stolz is aiming for a January 2015 trial. But Warren's lawyers said if he were tried separately, his trial would take no more than two weeks and they would be prepared in October if their severance motion was granted.
