After an intensive evaluation of Cammarata’s arguments regarding these Counts, the Court docket considers Cammarata’s Movement as placing forth three most important arguments:
(1) there was a variance or constructive modification of the indictment;
(2) there was inadequate proof; and
(3) there was misconduct.
The Court docket finds none of Cammarata’s arguments entitle him to acquittal or a brand new trial.

the proofs at his trial various from the Superseding Indictment and he was prejudiced in consequence.
