Larry Doud was not at the defense table earlier today while his lawyers argued with the prosecutors about how to respond to a jury note about fenanyl dosage. But he's at the table now. Still waiting for the jury and their verdict.
Jury entering!
Judge Daniels: We received your note, that you have a verdict. So I'll ask my law clerk to get it.
Foreperson: Guilty!
Did Defendant Doud conspire to distribute fentanyl?
Foreperson: Yes. 400 grams and more.
Court 2?
Foreperson: Guilty.
Judge Daniels: Thank you for your services, especially under the COVID circumstances.

OK - it's US v. Avenatti Day 9, jury deliberations day 2 - no movement at all,courtroom silent. But Inner City Press is on alert, live tweeted thread below as appropriate. Here's a hybrid story: innercitypress.com/literary7genoc… and hotdog story: innercitypress.com/sdnytrial17ave…
Something is afoot - the lawyers are gathering in the courtroom; prosecutors sitting, Avenatti standing up. Drumroll.
It's said, "There's a note." (If so, not yet the verdict). Lawyers are huddled together discussing it. Judge Furman not yet in the courtroom.

OK - now Sarah Palin v. NYT starts with Judge Rakoff hearing arguments on what can be included in opening statements. Inner City Press, on alert for Avenatti verdict, is covering Palin v. NYT innercitypress.com/sdny44krakoffp… and will live tweet, thread below Image
Lawyer: I have a question on voir dire. Do you allow back striking?
Judge Rakoff: I don't know what that is. Let me explain how I choose juries, as they were in this court for 50 years, good enough for Learned Hand, good enough for me.
Judge Rakoff: We have 82 jurors. Because of COVID, some in a separate room. We're choosing 9. I question the first 9. Maybe 1 or 2 is excused for cause. Number 10 moves up. Then each side gets three challenges, in rounds. See you at 10. Thread will continue.

OK - now in Jan 6 Oath Keepers' case, DDC Judge Mehta is holding a proceeding including on requests for voir dire about prejudice. Inner City Press has covered the case innercitypress.com/ddc32oathkeepe… and will live tweet, thread below
Defense requests mailing out to prospective jurors a questionnaire to assess bias.
Judge Mehta: I don't like the idea of mailing it out. But I agree that this jury selection will raise challenging questions, given the profile of events on January 6.
Judge Mehta: We're supposed to start trial on April 19. What if I called the jurors in by April 5?
Voice: The dates sound good. On April 5, do they just come in and fill out the form?
Mehta: I don't know if the defendants themselves want to be present.

OK - it's US v. Avenatti, Day 8, now the closing arguments in the Stormy Daniels case. Inner City Press covered the charging conference innercitypress.com/sdnytrial15ave… and will live tweet the summations and legal instructions, thread below
Judge Furman: Welcome back, jurors. Now you know Mr. Avenatti was a part of these events, so he will inevitably refer to himself in his closing. But he is not testifying. The government may proceed.
AUSA: "The defendant was a lawyer who stole from his own client."
AUSA: He told lies to try to cover it all up. Lies he told to try to get away with it. But he failed. His lies caught up with him. At this trial, the truth came out. Defendant's lies were exposed. He committed fraud and ID theft.

While waiting for US v. Avenatti charging conference, here is UN press briefing from from which Inner City Press is banned, today from briefing by incoming UN Security Council president. Aim to live tweet below the Q&A of those the UN *does* let in 1/x
Even as of 1:12 pm Feb 1, the most recent UNSC "Program of Work" on the UN's website is from January, that of @NorwayUN's @Mona_Juul, a month of failure and coups and censorship. And February? First question goes to UN Censorship Alliance, UNCA 2/x
Next handpicked questions: Qatar state media. Also nothing on the #GenocideGamesOfGuterres - perhaps not surprising, since Qatar bought the next FIFA World Cup despite rampant abuse of migrant labor. 3/x pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…

OK - now Jan 6 case of US v. Richard Barnett a/k/a Bigo, pictured putting his feet up on a Nancy Pelosi staffer's desk; he has a proceeding before DDC Judge Cooper. Inner City Press has covered the case innercitypress.com/ddc49abarnetti… and will live tweet, thread below
Assistant US Attorney: There is plenty of discovery for the defense to review, more will be produced before a bench trial in a Capitol case in April.
Defense counsel: They are power-washing my windows, so pardon the noise. I'm not comfortable setting a trial date
Judge Cooper: I told you to come back today with some thing concrete, or with a trial date. You've know for quite some time. This is an important matter, under indictment for a year. I'm not going out to winter, it won't be 2 years from Jan 6
