Notable cases
Qwest CEO case
| United States District Court for the District of Colorado *United States v. Nacchio 1082-1 : 1:05-CR-00545-MSK-1 |
|---|
| Judge Krieger on January 11, 2010 denied a new trial for former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio's 2007 conviction of insider trading charges. The judge denied the request despite Nacchio's legal team claimed that a testimony former Qwest Chief Financial Officer Robin Szeliga gave in a civil lawsuit related to the case found that the former CEO did not engage in insider trading. Krieger disallowed the request on the basis that the testimony in the civil trial was not different from the criminal trial and did not had enough evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to reverse the conviction.[3] |
