BREAKING:

Martin Shkreli must pay a $64.6 million fine and is BANNED FOR LIFE from "participating in the pharmaceutical industry in any capacity," a federal judge ruled.

DEVELOPING story, @LawCrimeNews. lawandcrime.com/high-profile/j…
The $64.4 million is disgorgement to the states.

I'm reviewing the 135-page (!) breaking ruling to see what, if any, other liability Shkreli may face as the result of today's decision.
That ruling is embedded in the story.
"The Daraprim scheme was particularly heartless and coercive."

Good morning from New York.

A hearing is scheduled to begin shortly in the case of @MaryLTrump v. Donald Trump.

Covering the proceedings virtually, @LawCrimeNews.
New York County Supreme Court Justice Robert R. Reed presides over oral arguments on the defendants' motion to dismiss.

The attorneys are:

John Quinn for Mary Trump

Gary Freidman for Maryanne Barry

James Kiley for Donald Trump
Up first, Freidman for Maryanne Barry

He says his two main arguments are that the claims are time-barred and covered by the terms of the broad release agreement.

Just in:

Ghislaine Maxwell WON'T face a separate perjury trial, if she loses her post-trial motions.

Feds say avoiding a separate trial on the false statement counts advances "victims' significant interests in bringing closure to this matter" and avoid trauma of more testimony.
Background:

Jurors only heard the first six of the eight counts of Maxwell's indictment.

The last two involved allegations that Maxwell lied on depositions in her civil litigation with Virginia Giuffre Roberts.

Those counts wouldn't have moved the needle on sentencing.
Maxwell had succeeded in severing the last two counts from her trial in a pre-trial motion.

This wrinkle was anticipated—and confirmed in a letter about scheduling for sentencing, which can be read here: documentcloud.org/documents/2117…

In a hearing scheduled to begin shortly, Trump's lawyers will try to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him, Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Follow here, @LawCrimeNews.
Judge Mehta will hear arguments in three civil cases simultaneously.

The first is the one I describe at the top of the thread.

The Capitol Police suit:

As the hearing begins, Trump's lawyer Jesse Binnall claims that the complaints are "full of propaganda meant to achieve a political rather than a legal objective."

Travis McMichael, the gunman who murdered Ahmaud Arbery, sentenced to LIFE WITHOUT the possibility of parole.
Greg McMichael will be sentenced to life WITHOUT the possibility of parole as well.
Bryan WILL have the possibility of parole, as the judge said—unlike the McMichaels—he showed remorse.

Story imminently, @LawCrimeNews

Watch the sentencing proceedings for the three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery embedded in this preview story written by @LawCrimeNews' @AlbertoLuperon.

The hearing begins in five minutes. lawandcrime.com/live-trials/li…
The court appears to be running a little behind schedule.
Proceedings seem to be running at least 30 minutes behind now.

A reminder:

The counts of conviction carry a mandatory minimum of life for the men.

Judge Walmsley's primary decision will be whether they are eligible for parole.

Ghislaine Maxwell's prosecutors have taken notice of a juror's interviews with multiple news outlets.

They suggest the court conduct an inquiry in a month about whether he disclosed having been a victim of sexual abuse in his jury questionnaire. Image
All jurors were asked these on their questionnaire. Image
(I deleted an earlier tweet with the wrong screenshot.)
