Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Bracewell urged Manhattan federal court jurors during a closing argument to convict Lawrence Ray of charges including racketeering, conspiracy, forced labor, sex trafficking and obstruction of justice. “Bring Lawrence Ray to justice,” she said as the defendant scribbled notes while lawyers summarized a month of evidence.
