Christopher Vialva, who carried the gun, was hanged in September, while other fellow defendants were given lesser sentences.

Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr joined Bernard’s legal team late Thursday and filed a petition in the Supreme Court, the case of President Donald Trump was the most recent and significant client during his indictment earlier this year.
