The latest update in the ongoing court case of David Brooks questions the validity of an email which the defense is using to cast aspersions on a key government witness

.

Newsday is reporting that an email sent from former DHB Industries CFO Dawn Schlegel was altered to include a false reference to a second sexual encounter with a colleague with whom earlier testified to only having a one-night stand.

Brooks' attorneys are trying discredit Schlegel's credibility, while federal prosecutors stated that the DHB computer systems turned over to both the prosecution and defense did not contain Schlegel's e-mail, that the e-mail address for the male colleague is incorrect and also uses a different font than what used by DHB.

Earlier in the hearings, Brooks' team contended that he was permitted to expense other purchases to DHB, while prosecutors argued those documents were also forged.
