So the jurors are jealous of you, Connie, and will convict you because you own big houses and hold blowout parties? The fact that you're a thief and a scoundrel is only incidental? Take it from me, it's not that you're rich, Tubby, it's that you used other people's money to maintain a ridiculously lavish lifestyle and then rubbed their noses in it.
Black argues that certain references in the indictment against him should be removed because they are 'irrelevant,' 'inflammatory and prejudicial.'
Those items include the fact that he is a British Lord, that he owned multiple houses, that he planned to decorate his New York apartment in 'lavish fashion,' that he had 'servants' and a chauffeur and that the tab for a birthday party for his wife was $195 (U.S.) per person for 80 people, plus $13,935 for wine and champagne.
'A typical juror does not reside in more than one residence, employ servants or a chauffeur, enjoy lavish furniture, or host expensive parties,' Black's court documents state.
