U.S. v. “Scooter” Libby
Verdicts Reached In “Scooter” Libby Trial
March 6, 2007
WASHINGTON, DC – A federal jury deliberated for 10 days before finding Vice-President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis (“Scooter”) Libby guilty of four felony charges. The charges included making false statements to the FBI, lying to a grand jury, and obstructing a probe in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. The jury acquitted Libby of one count of lying to the FBI relating to his conversation with a Time Magazine reporter. With the verdict, Libby became the highest-ranking White House official to be convicted of a felony since the Iran-Contra scandal nearly two decades earlier.
Partner Theodore V. Wells, Jr. (Paul Weiss) represented Mr. Libby throughout the proceedings. Impact Trial’s Jesse W. Stevenson provided trial presentation and technical assistance during the trial.
The case is United States of America v. I. Lewis Libby, case number 1:07-mc-00253, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
