"A jury or a court will find these [charges] to be lacking substance," said Kozlowski's lawyer, Stephen E. Kaufman.
Kozlowski had Tyco pay for some of the paintings and then reimbursed the company without interest, Morgenthau said. The Tyco money came from a fund reserved for executives to exercise stock options, he said. One of the six paintings Kozlowski had at his Fifth Avenue apartment was bought in Tyco's name.
