Silverstein Banished From Courtroom
A federal judge decided last week that he would not hold World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein in contempt for violating a gag order on parties involved in the insurance coverage dispute stemming from the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
However, Mr. Silverstein will continue to be banned from the courtroom unless he is called to testify, as he was the day after this ruling was handed down (see accompanying story, page 7).
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mukasey spared Mr. Silverstein a contempt of court ruling despite his finding that Mr. Silverstein's testimony on remarks he made about the trial at a press conference didn't add up.
