Statement by Benjamin Brafman, Attorney for Melvyn I. Weiss

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by Benjamin Brafman, Attorney for Melvyn I. Weiss:

I am disappointed with the Court's decision denying our motion to transfer the trial of Mr. Weiss to New York. Nevertheless, I remain confident that no jury, whether sitting in New York or in Los Angeles, once it has the opportunity to hear all of the evidence to be presented in this case, will ever convict such an extraordinary man as Melvyn I. Weiss.
