earlier this month ordered jail officials to provide medical records on Worrell. They did not comply in time. Lamberth hauled them into court this morning to show cause why they shouldn't be held in contempt.
Lamberth starts by blasting DC DOC for limiting virtual hearing rooms, cut from 4 to 2. "DOC refused to cooperate." Now talking about "incompetence" by DC jail on COVID testing. Worrell is not in the courtroom. His lawyer spoke with Worrell early this morning.
Officials include DC Jail Warden Wanda Patten and DC DOC Director Quincy Booth. DOJ atty defending jail officials claims its a miscommunication. Lamberth says he was satisfied in September Worrell was getting cancer treatment, was then "dumbfounded" that wasn't the case.
Worrell hand was broken in May. Orthopedic surgeon recommended in June that Worrell needed surgery. Lamberth says he thought Worrell and others should be moved from DC jail for lack of care. Responsibility of US Marshall but Marshall said he didn't get notes from jail, DOJ
Lamberth demands to know where notes were, DOC official says he doesn't know why they weren't turned over as ordered. Some mumbojumbo, Lamberth claims notes only turned over after he set contempt hearing. DOC atty says there was "ambiguity" over whether Worrell needed surgery.
"I don't accept that explanation," Lamberth says. DOC atty claims they've complied and were not in contempt. They've "learned lessons," LOL.
"What happens when surgery recommended in June and never followed up? Does no one care?" - Lamberth.
NO. NO THEY DON'T CARE.
"What happens when surgery recommended in June and never followed up? Does no one care?" - Lamberth.
NO. NO THEY DON'T CARE.
"No one noticed in the jail that he's sitting there in pain all the time?" DOC atty claims jail guards often ask detainees how they're doing. I'm laughing so hard.
Alex Savron, Worrell atty. Injury occurred May 21, if it had been attended to surgery might not have been needed.

Savron says Worrell recommended for 6 months chemo and radiation to treat his cancer. "Cruel and unusual punishment for my client." DC jail not prepared to handle those treatments, including nausea, pain, etc, Outcome could be grave injury or death.
Line just went dead for a few minutes. Reconnected.
DOC atty says Worrell has had biopsies, seen specialists who are on his "cancer team." I've heard about his deteriorating condition.
Lamberth asking for details about Worrell's cancer treatment going forward.

Lamberth asking for details about Worrell's cancer treatment going forward.
Doctor says it will be "intense chemotherapy regimen." Says he will be in a medical unit after treatments.
Keep in mind: THIS MAN HAS NOT BEEN CONVICTED OF ANY CRIME. Lamberth himself has denied bail awaiting trial. No trial date set.
Treatments will be a Howard Univ.

Lamberth finds DC Jail Warden and DOC Director in contempt of court. "Inexcusable."
HOLY SH*T.
He's berating them. This is awesome

Lamberth: Civil rights have been abridged. Doesn't know if it's because he's a January 6 defendants.
DC Jail is VIOLATING CIVIL RIGHTS OF JANUARY 6 DEFENDANTS.
Will refer to Attorney General.
WOWZA.
