Frank P. Quattrone
PER
Quattrone Frank P. Quattrone
In a rare reversal of a jury verdict, a federal appeals court overturned the obstruction-of-justice conviction of Frank P. Quattrone, the Silicon Valley-based investment banker. It unanimously ruled that the trial judge failed to require that jurors agree that Mr. Quattrone intended to thwart a government investigation. The appeals court granted Mr. Quattrone a new trial, but it was unclear if prosecutors would pursue the case, which produced a hung jury at his first trial.
