The Witness List for the Michael Sussmann Trial
According to the transcript for the pre-trial hearing yesterday, here is the status of the witness lists. The most interesting one, to me, is Michael Horowitz, who presumably will testify that Rodney Joffe shared a worthwhile tip on the same terms that Sussmann attempted to do with James Baker.
Prosecution:
- Trisha Anderson: Yes, for 30 minutes
- Apple custodian: stipulation
- Manos Antonakakis: “Possibly yes” for less than an hour of testimony
- James Baker: Yes, for several hours

- Mr. Chadason: Under a half hour
- David Dagon: Likely no (possibly on rebuttal)

Defense (may change in light of Prosecution decisions):

- Marc Giardina (who wanted to open investigation in response to Slate article)

- Eric Lichtblau: An hour or so (concern about limits of privilege)
- Mary McCord
- Jonathan Moffa (as to Sussmann’s credibility)

Update: I had accidentally left Priestap out.
Update: I also accidentally left out McCord and Moffa.
