Seth Waxman, lawyer for Gupta, told the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York on Tuesday that wiretaps played for the jury were inadmissible because they amounted to hearsay evidence.
India-born former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta has asked a US court for a new trial to reverse his conviction on insider trading charges, arguing that the district judge had committed "serious evidentiary errors" that tipped the scales decisively in the case.
Gupta's lawyer Seth Waxman argued his case during a hearing before a three-judge panel of the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York on Monday.
Gupta filed a 70-page petition with the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit yesterday seeking 'panel rehearing and rehearing en banc', saying in 'rejecting two of his challenges to the exclusion of critical evidence in his case, the panel misapprehended several points' about the insider trading case against him.
