Documents & Records
Ex. 60
Exhibit 60 consists of Adelson Institute payroll checks establishing payments of approximately $920 per month to Katherine Magbanua over a 16-month period in a batch payment structure. During cross-examination of Patrick Sanford, the defense used the exhibit to argue that the amount, structure, and duration of payments were more consistent with an extortion scheme than with compensation for a contract killing.
