Judge: document release may jeopardize Conn. case
Posted on 07/02/2009
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut judge says a lawyer for a man charged in the killing of Greenwich real estate mogul Andrew Kissel may have jeopardized the trial by releasing certain documents to the media that point blame at Kissel's ex-wife. Mark Sherman, an attorney for 22-year-old Leonard Trujillo of Worcester, Mass., has filed a motion to introduce evidence he says implicates Hayley Wolff in the 2006 stabbing death. He gave a copy to the Greenwich Time on Wednesday. Prosecutors say the motion contains materials that have been sealed from public view, which Sherman denies. Stamford Superior Court Judge Richard Comerford said Thursday he will review the motion to see if it contains any sealed items. A message was left with Wolff's lawyer. She has denied any involvement in Kissel's death.
