Madoff cohorts eye ‘Cannibal Cop’ prosecutor in bid to overturn their convictions

The Cannibal Cop ruling has some of Bernie Madoff's former cronies licking their chops.

After being convicted for taking part in the Ponzi monster's plot, five ex-staffers are hungry to try the defense tactic that got former Officer Gilberto Valle sprung from jail.

Andrew Frisch, a lawyer for former Madoff operations chief Daniel Bonventre, wrote Manhattan federal Judge Laura Taylor Swain a letter Tuesday on behalf of his client and other ex-staffers convicted in March for their role in Madoff's epic $65 billion rip-off.

They had previously filed papers seeking acquittal by accusing Assistant US Attorney Randall Jackson of "prosecutorial misconduct" during their trial.

Frisch is trying to strengthen that argument by claiming that the judge in Valle's trial addressed similar claims against Jackson when opting Monday to overturn Valle's March 2013 conviction of conspiring to kidnap and eat women.

"The same prosecutor crossed the line . . . and subverted the efforts for a fair trial," Frisch wrote to Swain.

During the trial of the ex-Madoff staffers earlier this year, defense lawyers objected when Jackson compared the defendants to bank robbers and drug dealers.
