The highly unusual arrangement will let the jurors hear Feldman without him ever appearing in court. Because Feldman would likely invoke his Fifth Amendment rights at the trial, defense attorneys are settling for a replay of his grand jury testimony. He testified under a grant of immunity before a grand jury in 2014, but the immunity was not extended to the ongoing trial in US District Court in Boston. Instead, the jury will listen to the 2 1/2-hour grand jury testimony of Paul Feldman, a partner at Davis Malm & D’Agostine. But that attorney won’t be appearing in person. DEFENSE LAWYERS IN THE FEDERAL FRAUD TRIAL of three men accused of concealing the involvement of a convicted felon in the sale of land in Everett to Wynn Resorts plan to open their case with the testimony of the real estate attorney who handled the deal.
