Concord Monitor - Filing: New evidence for Browns

Concord Monitor - Filing: New evidence for Browns: "July 20, 2009 - 8:06 am

Less than an hour after a federal jury found Ed and Elaine Brown guilty of conspiracy, weapons possession and obstruction of justice, a man claiming to be a security contractor involved in their case called Ed Brown's lawyer and said he had information that could help the defense, court documents say.

That man, who told Michael Iacapino that his name was David Quinn and that he worked for a company called the Forseti Group, said his company's employees had helped arrest the Browns – and that details about their capture offered at trial were not accurate.

Prosecutors in the case say investigators never hired Quinn or the Forseti Group, but the Browns' lawyers have relied on Quinn's phone call to ask the judge for an investigation of the potential new evidence and have called for a new trial if it is legitimate."
