Defense lawyer Gottlieb: There were instances that RDC went out of its way to do compliance. Not a perfect job, but they did it.
Gottlieb: My client's live is on the stand [on the line] and I have a right to cross examine. I don't need lessons from the government.

Judge Daniels is ruling on prosecutors' request to exclude a slew of defense exhibits. He is allowing some in, "to demonstrate that at the time the defendant made his statements, he was not part of a conspiracy," or try to demonstrate that.
Defense lawyer Gottlieb: Any statements made by people about Lindencare being in compliance, they are not being introduced for the truth of the matter asserted --
Judge Daniels: I don't agree. It's not probative of whether Mr. Doud was involved in a conspiracy

OK - now in Jan 6 case of US v. Ryan Samsel, proceeding before DDC Judge Kelly. Inner City Press has covered the case innercitypress.com/ddc113samselic… and will live tweet, thread below

Samsel's lawyer: Despite COVID, we shouldn't just rely on the pandemic to justify delay. Our discovery request was made after the US said they had substantially completed discovery. Yes it's 12 pages in length. But there are deficiencies in the US' discovery
