Clase, Ortiz Trial: Co-Defendants Clash Over Explosive Secrets That Could Change Everything
Now, when this courtroom drama finally unfolds, it promises to be anything but a friendly chat. Ortiz’s legal team has been pushing hard for a separate trial, aiming to put one of Clase’s own attorneys on the stand as a witness—a move that surely amps up the tension inside that courtroom. At the heart of their defense? A flat-out denial that Ortiz had any clue about the alleged scheme: a plot to manipulate the speed or placement of pitches to help gamblers rake in winnings on prop bets.
The crux of Ortiz’s push for a split trial lies in his claim that, as a latecomer to a multi-season gambling racket, he shouldn’t be lumped together with Clase. Prosecutors paint a different picture—Clase wasn’t just a player but a recruiter, allegedly orchestrating pitch rigging over dozens of games from 2023 through 2025. Both men face serious charges—wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to influence sports betting contests by bribery, and money laundering conspiracy—and both have pleaded not guilty. Meanwhile, a fourth co-defendant lurks in the shadows, unnamed and still at large.
