Case 1:05-cr-00394-RBW     Document 335     Filed 04/13/2007     Page 1 of 2


NOTICE BY I. LEWIS LIBBY


    Mr. Libby respectfully submits this notice to inform the Court that he does not intend to
file a motion before the District Court for a new trial pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal
Procedure 33.


    On March 6, 2007, defense counsel requested additional time to file a new trial motion
under Rule 33. The Court granted the request and ordered that such a motion be filed by April
13, 2007.


    Mr. Libby intends to raise in the Court of Appeals substantial issues of law on appeal of
his conviction, including issues that may result in the granting of a new trial.  However, defense
counsel's review of the record leads us to conclude that the issues were adequately presented to
the District Court during the course of the proceedings and that the Court ruled on them during
or before trial.  Counsel also conclude that the record does not need to be supplemented on these
issues.  Accordingly, we will not reargue them in a motion under Rule 33.


Dated: April 13, 2007

Libby Trial - Grounds for Appeal

It is a commonly asserted, basically correct but technically incorrect, that the taking of an appeal is limited to challenging a ruling below for errors of law. Appeals may be taken for errors of law (such as admitting or denying evidence, prejudicial or inadequate instructions to the jury) or for clearly erroneous findings of fact by the fact finder. On the latter grounds, a "clearly erroneous finding of fact" is re-labeled an "error as a matter of law."

A clearly erroneous finding of fact is a finding that has (literally) no support in the evidence, or for which all the evidence points in the opposite direction. If it is possible, yet arguably unreasonable for a fact finder to find a certain way based on the evidence in the record, then the (arguably unreasonable) finding of fact is not clearly erroneous.

4. Overruling of Objections to Substitution of Critical Classified Evidence
   • December 8 Court Order and Opinion [Doc 224 (3.4 Mb pdf)]

5. Inability to seat an impartial jury - tainted jury - jury error
   • Fitzgerald's press conference of October 28, 2004 indicates that the prosecutor is engaging in selective (politically-motivated) prosecution
   • Judge Walton failure to rein-in Fitzgerald's closing argument where Fitzgerald told the jury that a covert agent was outed
   • Judge Walton failure to rein-in Fitzgerald's closing argument where Fitzgerald told the jury that Libby didn't mention to Cheney that Libby heard from Rove, and further hints that Cheney was aware of Libby's alleged leaking to reporters
   • Juror Denis Collins and others report that the jury based their guilty verdicts in part on the premise that Libby had seen the Wilson op-ed as marked up by Vice President Cheney

6. Defects in jury selection or jury instruction
   • e.g., prejudicing the trial by implying that the leak itself represented a chargeable offense
   • Failure to instruct that Miller-related evidence may not be used to find obstruction
   • Ruling on noting of espionage act as well as IIPA being possible statutory violations (i.e., laws that Libby, if he recalled leaking, may have thought he broke - motive is ascribed if Libby thought there was a possibility of having perpetrated a criminal act)
   • Ruling in favor of prosecution on language of "Memory Instruction" (two elements repeatedly requested by defense were omitted from memory instruction)
   • Clarification of "reasonable doubt" in response to jury question [Doc 311, p2] following suggestion of prosecution for the judge to reply, in part, "I do not understand what you mean by humanly possible."
   • Instructing the jury to consider entirety of GJ testimony to find obstruction in Libby's version of the Cooper conversation, instead of focusing them on the difference between the conversation as recited at 32.b and 33.b in the indictment [Doc 313 (80 kB pdf)] (Juror Denis Collins said that the jury's not not-guilty verdict on Count 3 used the defense-preferred construction of this count)
   • Ruling on "Good faith defense" instruction ("Good faith defense" appears in instructions)
   • Ruling on application of "corrupt" ala Arthur Andersen ("intent" language in instructions includes "corrpt" and "evil motive.")
   • Ruling in favor of prosecution on language of "Theory of Defense" (Theory of Defense is the same as proposed by the defense, except for adding the word "contends" to the description of Libby's expectation that reporter and government witnesses would testify freely)

7. Rulings that admitted or denied certain lines of evidence (duplicates some material currently in the "active trial" area above, and additionally contains grounds of appeal adapted from public speculation, e.g., Tom Maguire on February 24)
   • Admitting excessive / prejudicial amounts of grand jury proceedings
   • Admitting a Libby NDA agreement as evidence of "fear of firing" motive for Libby to lie
   • Admitting marked-up "1x2x6" article taken from Libby's files
   • Admitting not-marked-up "Outing of Brewster Jennings" article taken from Libby's files
   • Admitting the Wilson op-ed marked-up by Vice President Cheney
   • Precluding discovery of Fleischer's immunity agreement and related correspondence
   • Precluding the "everyone knew" line of inquiry of Mitchell (the defense elected to not call Mitchell at all, although they could have because she is another reporter who would have testified speaking to Libby during the week of July 7, and that Libby did not tell her that Mrs. Wilson works at the CIA) If Mitchell knew, then Russert might have, which creates a possibility that Libby's recounting of the Russert conversation is accurate
   • Precluding Russert impeachment evidence, that Russert in fact knows that grand jury witnesses cannot be accompanied by counsel
   • Limiting the amount of CIPA evidence admissible by witnesses other than Libby (see paragraph of commentary below, on the relationship between not calling Libby to the stand and basing an appeal on the nature of CIPA substitutions)
   • The entirety of Miller's testimony should have been excluded because Fitzgerald's August 27, 2004 affidavit to Judge Hogan was misleading. In particular, the phrasing of FN 15 on page 28 caused the Court to conclude, in error, that Plame was covert (or otherwise had some protected status). The Circuit Court thought that testimony from Miller was required to investigate a charge (e.g., Espionage Act) that depended on the covert or protected status that the Circuit Court wrongly assumed. If Fitzgerald had clarified that his only objectives were false statements, perjury and obstruction, the Circuit Court would have quashed the grand jury subpoena to Miller.
   • The parts of Bond's testimony that refer to Eckenrode's notes of his interview with Russert should have been excluded because those notes were not located
   • Permitting prejudicial closing argument that asserted Libby outed a covert agent

In the January 17 Response to Motion to Unseal, Fitzgerald argued that the motion should be set aside until after the Libby trial, because the exact grand jury material that will come out at trial is uncertain.

There being a notice of filing of a sealed ex parte affidavit, it is clear that the Circuit Court of Appeals will be releasing only the parts of their February 2005 Opinion and the portions of Fitzgerald's affidavits that directly relate to testimony that surfaces during the trial.

The public won't get to see all the material produced during the investigation of Rove, with the "holes" in the Rove investigation that Fitzgerald expected to fill in with testimony from Cooper.

On November 15, The Court issued an Order [Doc 189] that CIPA pleadings made under seal are to be redacted by January 15, 2007 (extended to March 2nd - then extended to April 15 for the pleadings and May 15 for the hearing transcripts - then extended to May 1 for the pleadings). I assume this order does not pertain to pleadings filed after November 15, and that it refers only to pleading relating to CIPA 6(a). The Order may be further limited to Government pleadings, as these are the only items denominated "under seal." Libby filings are denominated "Classified."

The defense decision to not call Libby to the stand weakens the argument that his defense was hampered because of the nature of the substitutions. In place of that (nature of the substitutions) argument, Libby can now argue that it was improper to preclude admission of the evidence altogether - that is, that the evidence should have come in even though Libby did not take the stand in his own defense. The point of those observations is that the contents of the CIPA briefs and rulings is not as interesting, given that the "not admitted at all" argument is one step further removed from the argument that the contents of the substituted testimonial and documentary evidence represents an "inadequate" defense.
