A “massively complex” federal trial of four Wilmington Trust executives on fraud and conspiracy charges raced into the home stretch Tuesday, after defense attorneys opened and closed their side of the Delaware case in a matter of hours.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Andrews said jury instructions and closing arguments will begin on Monday, six weeks after opening arguments in a criminal case accusing the four of conspiring to keep hundreds of millions of dollars of past-due loans off public disclosure and regulator reports.
