Friday.

While I was in the process of posting that, I

discovered that the government had posted an additional

request and a response to the defendant's request that the

Court include a defense theory charge if the Court were to

provide a charge that was requested by the government that

entrapment is not a defense in this case.

The additional charge requested by the government

deals with the aiding and abetting charge.

I don't understand

why, two months after the Court had provided its charge, it

12

consistent with the government's theory.

I noted that it was not the

Is there a reply?

So the parties should have expected at least a filing by the

MR. NKRUMAH:

Your Honor, we don't oppose the

government's additional charge on aiding and abetting.


THE COURT:

With respect to Defendant Defreitas'

request as to a limiting instruction concerning documents that

are admissible only against Defendant Kadir, there were -- the

three groupings of documents were laid out in defense

counsel's filing, which is document 401, just for clarity of

11

the record on the docket sheet.

The proposed charge, while similar to the charge

that I gave, is not quite like the charge that I gave.

14

adapt it so that it is more in sync with the previous limiting

15

instructions that I gave that the defense counsel requested.

16

I will

However, as I mentioned in my ECF order last night,

17

as to the documents that the parties did not have an agreement

18

on, I ruled on that on Friday, that they were admissible as to

19

both defendants.

20

So to the extent that there are groupings of

21

documents that are admissible as to both defendants, I don't

think any charge is necessary because the jury can consider

any and all of the evidence in connection with the charges as

appropriate.

I have to look a little bit closer at the case law.

Since I didn't get the Government's response on that until

yesterday, I didn't really have a chance to look at it.

23

have to say that, from some of the research that I have done

already in looking at the submissions that were made, I am not

convinced that the defense charge as requested by the

defendants is appropriate.
Although, perhaps some mention that the defendants

here are claiming that they never joined any agreement to

engage in any of the charged conspiracies and that they never

intended to do so.

I have not thought about the language yet, but I am somewhat

persuaded by the balancing argument that defense counsel for

Defreitas raised in their papers.

I think in that streamlined way, perhaps.

Mr. Nkrumah, there is no indication in your papers

10

that were faxed to chambers that they were served on anybody.

11

Since the government didn't address it in their papers, it

12

didn't seem to me that they had received it.

13

MR. NKRUMAH:

I read the Court's order this morning,

14

Your Honor.

I agree with the Court's order, and there's no

15

objection on Mr. Kadir's part.

16

THE COURT:

I don't understand why it wasn't filed

17

electronically and then it would have automatically been

18

served on everyone?

19

MR. NKRUMAH:

That's correct, Your Honor.

It was

20

just a little bit of confusion on my part.

21

that part of your ruling where you said that you were going to

22

hold the matter in abeyance, and because of that I believed

23

that the filing in the chambers would give the Court an

24

opportunity to decide whether the Court would allow us to --

us about his work at the Guyana Water Authority, the Bauxite

so let's take it step by step.

His story changed from time-to-time

In his direct examination, Kadir said that he only

10

pretended to agree to participate in Defreitas' plan to attack

11

JFK because he didn't want to lose the chance to work with

12

Defreitas on business ventures he proposed.

I'm not interested in your terrorist plan, because the trade

Now, as we discussed, the idea of coming

18

face-to-face with committed violent terrorists and they decide

19

they'd make excellent business partners is a laughable idea.

20

But Mr. Kadir didn't have much to work with, so it's no

surprise he came up with something so ridiculous.

22

There is a mountain of evidence in this case that he

23

had to work around.

He did his best to come up with a story

24

that would fit the evidence and exonerate him, and he failed.

He failed because he is guilty, and the evidence has proven

As I mentioned, ladies and gentlemen,

I am going to be instructing you on the law as they relate not

only to the law of conspiracy and what the requirements are,

but also as to the specific charges that are contained in the

indictment and other things, including how to consider the

evidence.

parts that are contained in the indictment that alleges

conspiracy Counts 1 through 5, there is no requirement that an

overt act be committed.

In that regard, with respect to the particular

10

You may continue, Mr. Nkrumah.

11

MR. NKRUMAH:

As I said, you will hear the

12

instruction from the Judge, and when you hear the instruction

13

from the Judge listen carefully to the conspiracy instruction.

14

Listen carefully, and when you hear those instructions, think

15

about Abdul Kadir and what he didn't do.

16

One of the things that we ask you to do is when you

17

walk through those doors and you sit in that chair you use

18

common sense.

19

ask you to leave what you learned in all of your life out the

20

door.

21

You don't actually leave it outside.

We don't

We ask you to use common sense.


So I am going to ask you to use common sense right

22

now, and I am going to talk about what Mr. Kadir did.

23

am going to ask you, does it sounds like someone who really

24

wants something to happen?

his plot to attach JFK airport for a few hundred dollars worth

It is a ridicules.

A few more quick points here and then I want to


switch to Mr. Nkrumah's argument.

First, what did the defendant Abdul Kadir tell you

about Russell Defreitas?

Well, number one, during his

testimony he testified under oath that Russell Defreitas was

10

a member of the plot to attack JFK airport.

11

was the first one to pitch him on the plot.

12

And what else did he tell you?

Russell Defreitas

That he didn't think

13

Russell Defreitas was incapable of involvement in a serious

14

endeavor.

15

business ideas and connections so much that he told him he

16

would join in the terrorist plot with him in order to go into

17

business with him.

18

In fact, he liked his business ideas.

He liked his

Second, let's suppose for one second that Russell

19

Defreitas didn't mean any of the things he said.

20

absurd, given the wealth of evidence that demonstrates beyond

21

any reasonable doubt that he meant every word.

22

just suppose for one minute.

23

It is

Well, let's

But then he is told the evidence is significant.


There are tape recordings.

money or make friends, wouldn't he have told Detective

Wouldn't he have told him again and again and

"I didn't mean it.

I was just trying to make money.

10

He didn't.

Take a look.

11

At this point in the interview did Russell Defreitas

12

say he was part of the plot to attack JFK airport, but he

13

never really meant to do anything?

14
15

No.

He did not.

At any point in the interview did Russell Defreitas


suggest or say that the plot was not serious?

16

No.

Did he tell you that he came up with the idea of the

17

plot?

Russell Defreitas said it was idea.

not to mention the documentary evidence and the confession of

10

Russell Defreitas and the admissions of Abdul Kadir during

12

But the testimony of the cooperating witnesses,

13

Donald Nero and Steven Francis, that is just icing on the

14

cake.

15

That is just more evidence.


Strangely, you heard a lot of Nero and Francis

16

during the defense summations.

I guess if you don't like what

17

your client says on the tape recording, it is a lot easier to

at their testimony, Francis and Nero's testimony.

They testified about the same people being involved

in the plots and about plot meetings at Rutherford's office.

10

information about JFK Airport and that he recruited Francis

So whether you believe that Kadir entered into the

OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER

4837

conspiracy, agreed to assist in the plot to raise money or for

business connections or because of a commitment to the Iranian

worldwide revolution or to support hezbollah or because he's

following his Muslim duty in some misguided sense, he is still

guilty as long as he agreed to help knowing what the plot is

about and intentionally participated, and the evidence proves

beyond any reasonable doubt that he did.

And the same is true, by the way, of Russell


Defreitas.

Whatever his reason was for being involved in the

10

plot, whether it was the motive that he said on the tape or if

11

he really joined the plot to make friends, as long as he

12

knowingly and intentionally participated, he is guilty.

13

Now, Mr. Nkrumah argued that you should credit

14

Mr. Kadir's story, but it is packed with inconsistencies and

15

lies, and it is absolutely contradicted by the tapes.

Here's what Defreitas has to say about Mr. Kadir

to Iran for the first time in 17 years.

Kareem Ibrahim described what Abdul Kadir was doing

to a T, heading to Iran with knowledge of the plan to attack

JFK Airport to pitch the plan to his contacts, contacts like

Mohsen Rabbani and other high ranking Iranian revolutionary

leaders but, members of the jury, as I said, you don't have to

find that Mr. Kadir was going to Iran, though I submit the

inference is obvious given all the evidence, the question is

did he agree to be a member of this plot and you have tape

You can all have a seat.

As I had indicated early this morning before we

started with the summations, the Court will incorporate into

the final charge the revised aiding and abetting charge and

the limiting instruction that was requested by counsel.

Then, as soon as that is done, the Court will post


that electronically.

If counsel likes, we can have that

12

MS. WHALEN:

I would like that.

Is there anything else that you want to raise?

There was the issue about the exhibit list.

16

a chance to review that and conform it?

Have you all had

MR. JONES:

Yes, Your Honor.

I circulated a list to the parties yesterday and

I think we are all in agreement that it

all looks good.

21

file a final copy because I didn't want to file a draft.

I will speak to counsel afterwards.

U.S.A. v. DEFREITAS and KADIR

THE COURT:

4862

That exhibit list can be given.

Just so

we're all on the same page, that exhibit list can then be

submitted to the jury so that if they want to request any

particular piece of evidence, they know what to ask for.

Is everybody in agreement with that?

MR. JONES:

Yes, Your Honor.

respect to whether or not the Court is going to give the

11

entrapment language and the defense theory instruction.

12

I think our position is that -- I think Ms. Whalen

13

did an admirable job of backing off since the concerns the

14

government had.

15

16

I don't think that that language is

I think Mr. Nkrumah's, from my listening, summation

17

tends to be more about lack of evidence than pressure,

18

manipulation, in terms of the concerns that the government

19

raised.

20

So I think our first choice would be that none of

21

the language from either side included.

22

inclined to include the entrapment language, then we would ask

23

for our theory of defense in the instructions as well.

24

MR. JONES:

But if the Court is

12

arguments.

13

they would be making an attempt for a back door entrapment

15

defense.

16

I think it's like we feared and like we predicted,

Because they did that despite Your Honor's warnings,

17

we ask that the jury be instructed that entrapment is not a

18

defense in this matter.

things and not be joining a conspiracy and not be

demonstrating a conspiracy.

But I don't think that the statements that I made in

THE COURT:

I think it was

I had mentioned on Friday one of the

reasons why I wanted to reserve decision on it and held it in

abeyance was to have the opportunity to hear the summations

from all of the parties.

10

I think that perhaps while the defense may have come

11

somewhat close to an entrapment like defense, I don't think

12

that it rises to any level where the proposed charge that the

13

government suggested should be given by the Court.

14

I think that the government, in its rebuttal, was

15

able to address all of the points that were raised by both the

16

defense counsel, again alerting the jury to the fact that that

17

it was before Mr. Francis even came.

heeded.
The elements required for conspiracy and, in

particular, for these conspiracies which are a little

different from the common law conspiracy in that it doesn't

require an overt act, I think the charges themselves repeat

some of these elements over again.

I think that the parties have ably argued the

evidence from their prospective as to what proof there is that

satisfies all of those elements.

10

If the jury comes back and says what about

11

entrapment, then we'll talk about it then.

12

all of the summations together, I think that the danger that

13

the government is concerned about is minimal at best.

MR. JONES:

I think, taking

For purposes of the record, it sounds

15

That's correct.

I think maybe the

record is a little muddy on what I said.

23

In light of Your Honor's ruling, if the entrapment language

isn't given, then we did submit a theory of defense
