Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, for his trial last year on insider-trading charges,
selected as his lawyer a combative ex-Marine who cursed at a
cameraman after court one day.

The jury, citing overwhelming evidence, voted to convict.

Rajat Gupta — the ex-Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) (GS) director
whose own insider-trading trial begins May 21 — chose a lawyer
with a different style: Gary Naftalis, an affable presence in
the elite New York white-collar defense bar who recently
attended a reception for a Rajaratnam prosecutor at his new law
firm and who socializes with the judge presiding over the Gupta
trial.

“Why is he so good? Because he’s very disarming,” said
Charles Carberry, a friend and a former federal prosecutor.
“Gary has a way of talking to people that’s non-
confrontational,” said Carberry, now a partner at Jones Day in
New York. “There’s nothing about him that reeks of arrogance.”

A jury in Manhattan will determine whether the 70-year-old
Naftalis’s low-key style wins Gupta the acquittal that eluded
Rajaratnam, who’s serving 11 years in prison. Of almost 90
criminal trials last year in the federal district that includes
Manhattan, the Bronx and some suburban counties, all but about
eight ended in conviction, according to the office of U.S.
Attorney Preet Bharara, who’s prosecuting the case.

No Acquittals

Four of those convictions last year were in insider-trading
cases, including Rajaratnam’s. Sixty-six people have been
charged since August 2009 in the U.S. crackdown on illegal
tipping, and 59 have pleaded guilty or been convicted at a
trial. No one has won a not-guilty verdict. Some cases are
pending.

From billboards to boardrooms, Jets quarterback Tim Tebow’s far-reaching brand has continued to spread as quickly as his religious views since arriving in New York, but there is at least one T-shirt that he would like to see removed from the racks.

Tebow’s lawyers issued a cease-and-desist letter to the website Cubbytees.com last month requesting the removal of a T-shirt due to “deceptive trade practices,” according to TMZ.com.

The shirt does not use Tebow’s name or likeness, but employs the Jets’ oval logo and replaces “NY JETS” with “MY JESUS.”
There is a fish branded with a cross on it, as well. The link to Tebow is spelled out in the product description on the website:

“Now that the NFL’s most popular player has moved his pulpit from Denver to New York City, he’ll no longer simply be delivering sermons from the mountains — he’ll have the attention of the world’s premier media market. Jets for Jesus! Whether his message — or his playing skills — will thrive under the bright lights of Gotham remains to be seen. . . . but we know that a legion of believers will have faith in him. He’s not just looking to cure lepers, but heal Gang Green!”

The website attempts to distance itself from infringement issues with its disclaimer below the Tebow section:

“Cubby Tee designs represent original artistic expressions inspired by our love of various teams and sports, but (obviously) are not official team/league/player merchandise or endorsed by any team or league or player in any way.”

A call to Tebow’s attorney, Wendy M. Kirk, was not immediately returned. The website did not respond to an email.

The T-shirt was still available, in green or white, on Thursday afternoon. Prices ranged from $19.95-$25.
