Endgame in @Eaze trial of US v. Weigand: for those asking, now the prosecutors & defense lawyers are sitting in Judge Rakoff's courtroom, waiting for any notes - or verdict - of the jury. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below patreon.com/posts/48806960

Update of 12:28 pm in @Eaze trial: Judge Rakoff just came in and read out two notes from the jury foreman.
They want a "smart-board" and markers; they want closing statements. Judge Rakoff says he'll reply that the summations cannot be be sent in. Watch this feed

Update of 2:19 pm - in @Eaze trial, something is afoot: defense counsel and defendants are clustered around their laptops, as are the prosecutors. Waiting for Judge Rakoff to announce what this (jury question) may be

Update of 2:40 pm - Judge Rakoff: We have received several notes. The juror who wanted to leave at 3:30 today now wants to leave at 3. It was signed by the foreperson - so it appears it has the agreement of the jury as a whole

Judge Rakoff: Jury asks for transcript of "Ollie Hargreaves' testimony." I understand this is taking you a lot of time. Yes, cut the sidebars and colloquys. But there's no need to talk out stricken testimony that the jurors were told not to consider.

Judge Rakoff: The jury asks, Which document has Reuben Weigand and EU Processing?
It's GX 3929.

They've decided jury means "four out of five application submitted - and that it is a request for communications about submitting to #WireCard [!]
Inner City Press will be digging for the exhibit under this: documentcloud.org/documents/2051…

Judge Rakoff ends by noting @SenSchumer's nominations for NY US Attorney positions, He says Damian Williams' credential is heading SDNY Fraud Unit, like incumbent Strauss "and at least one judge."
Him.
