The defense argues his absence cripples their ability to challenge the prosecution’s case, especially since they never had a chance to cross-examine him. With the trial already delayed four times and new racketeering charges recently added, Durk’s legal team claims the government’s delay harmed their defense. The prosecution wants to keep all charges consolidated, but without the witness, the defense sees a major advantage heading into a crucial Tuesday hearing—where the fate of the trial may pivot on witness testimony and procedural fairness.
