OK - in Day 3 of 3 hiatus in #GhislaineMaxwell trial, now another sexual exploitation case, Columbia's "Dirty Doc" Hadden. Inner City Press has reported on it innercitypress.com/sdny29straussh… and will live tweet, thread below
Judge Berman (joining the proceeding after a meeting): If you want to have some additional argument, I'm happy to hear that.
Defense lawyer: We believe an evidentiary hearing is appropriate. There was been more than normal cooperation between the two prosecutors
AUSA Kim: Defendant has failed to justify any sort of evidentiary hearing. It's all speculation. There are numerous cases where there has been a Federal prosecution after a state case.
[Uh, like US Attorney Alex Acosta sending Epstein case back to the state?]
Judge Berman: I'm far along with my draft. I'll include today's comments. I can have a written ruling by 4 pm today.
[Inner City Press will report on that as well.]
Hadden's 2d lawyer, Federal Defender Deirdre D. Von Dornum: We would like oral argument on our motion to suppress.
Judge Berman: I could hear it right now. I have the time.
Von Dornum: Some of it should not be public.
[Oh, that again.]
Judge Berman: In January we have a lot of pre-trial scheduling to accomplish. We start our trial on March 28. For the moment there are only a limited number of court room where jury trials can take place.
[Because COVID. Hadden has a call-in line. Why not Maxwell?
Judge Berman: We have another request, that came in yesterday, requesting a jury questionnaire.
AUSA Kim: We oppose the questionnaire, and believe the Court can effectively preside over voir dire. We'll filed by Tuesday, Dec 21.
Judge Berman: I'd thought Monday
[While they discuss dates, here's DOJ's press release about Hadden: justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/f…
Judge Berman: We'll need an hour at least for oral argument. It'll be January 5. And jury selection March 28.
Adjourned.
Soon podcast and stories on InnerCityPress.com and patreon.com/MatthewRussell…

OK - it's US v. #GhislaineMaxwell trial Day 12, defense arguing to keep their case open until Monday for a final, 81-year old witness. Inner City Press is reporting on the case and will live tweet, thread below patreon.com/posts/60022486
Judge Nathan: I'm letting in the documents about residence versus ownership. If I weren't, you might have a point. Is this deposition transcript new to you?
Maxwell's lawyer: She was deposed in a slip and fall case.
Judge Nathan: You'll provide the transcript.
Judge Nathan: I have a rule, you have your next witness or you rest. If otherwise the case closes today, it closes today.
[Couldn't Maxwell's lawyers just do super-long direct examination? And what about the 3 day hiatus?]

OK - Now Trial Day 11 of US v. #GhislaineMaxwell, Inner City Press is reporting on the case including 3 day (DC) hiatus and will now continue live tweeting the trial day(s), thread below patreon.com/posts/59982178
Judge Alison Nathan, who yesterday in DC forwarded her nomination to 2d Circuit Court of Appeals, takes the bench & just begins ruling on the filings that built up over the 3 day hiatus (request for call in line amid Omicron and all flight logs still UNacted on)
Judge Nathan: About Doctor Loftus' testimony. The US seeks to exclude 2 aspects, her testimony on leading questions and therapists' techniques. I have ruled that these are generally admissible. I deny the government's motion to preclude.

OK - now Jan 6 defendant Cleveland Grover Meredith is being sentenced by DDC Judge Amy Berman Jackson, in a proceeding that UNlike US v. #GhislaineMaxwell has a public call-in line. Inner City Press will live tweet (while in transit to @SDNYLIVE), thread below
Assistant US Attorney: The way the case law is, Mr. Meredith did not even have to act on the threat, just make it. The government believe that over four days, Mr. Meredith accelerated his interest in engaging in violence and narrowed in on who to do it to.
Meredith's lawyer: The AUSA is mostly talking about my client's words... To show his mindset, he said, That's why they call me Double Oh Dipsh*t... Social media is chit-chat, not serious type language. This has to be taking into account.
