The Michael Avenatti jury returns a note suggesting that there's one female holdout juror, whom the rest of the panel says is refusing to deliberate and won't consider the evidence.

Avenatti moves for a mistrial.

Judge Furman just denied that motion.
The judge considers instructing them not to be swayed by sympathy or emotion.

Avenatti objects.

Furman asks wryly whether it's Avenatti's position that a juror should let sympathy or emotion interfere with clear thinking.
Furman says Avenatti seems to believe the holdout is leaning toward acquittal.

For all he knows, the judge says, the juror allegedly swayed by emotion is in favor of conviction.

Good morning from New York.

It’s Groundhog Day… again, which means proceedings in yet another federal trial against Michael Avenatti.

Closing arguments are expected to start this morning in the Stormy Daniels case.

Follow along here, @lawcrimenews
"All rise"

The jury is entering.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Sobelman is up:

"The defendant was a lawyer who stole from his own client. She thought that he was her own advocate, but he betrayed her."

And he told lies to cover it up, the AUSA says.

"The defendant's lies and betrayal were exposed."

Good morning from New York.

Michael Avenatti's cross-examination of Stormy Daniels yesterday began during the last 10 minutes of the trial day. Today, the questioning kicks off into full gear.

Follow along live with me, @LawCrimeNews.

Stormy Daniels is back on the witness stand.

The jury is entering.
Highlighting Stormy's history as an actress, Avenatti asks whether that entails learning and reciting lines.

He then asks how many times she met with the government.

Six or seven times, five or six of which were in the last 30 days, she responds.

Good morning from New York.

Stormy Daniels is expected to be called to testify later today in Michael Avenatti's trial. Before the jury enters, Avenatti informs the court that he anticipates a six-hour cross examination.

"We'll see about those six hours," Judge Furman replies.
Avenatti's former lawyer Sean Macias remains on the witness stand.

During cross-examination yesterday, Macias testified he was "shocked" when Avenatti told him in 2018 he was "jammed up" and needed a $250,000 bridge loan.

"He was the top lawyer on TV and everything."
Macias testified on Wednesday that Mark Geragos paid him that money. Macias also said then he was enthusiastic that Avenatti might run for higher office.

Today, Avenatti says Macias sent him a text message about getting him some ‘Do, re, mi” so he could "run like a banshee."

"U.S. Appeals Court Affirms Conviction for Drug Lord 'El Chapo,' Rejecting Defense Claims of 'Breathtaking Juror Misconduct'"

Coming soon: Expert @MitchellEpner explains why the 2nd Circ's ruling shows "major hurdles" for Ghislaine Maxwell.
lawandcrime.com/high-profile/u… @lawcrimenews
Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal goes to the Second Circuit, and her request for a new trial is governed by its precedent.

In rejecting a new trial for El Chapo, a three-judge panel reiterated the high bar for even probing alleged juror misconduct. Image
That said, Epner—a former sex trafficking prosecutor—noted that the juror conduct at issue here is different from the Chapo case.

Chapo's appeal involved "unsworn, uncorroborated statements" by "one unidentified juror."

In Maxwell, the juror is known and spoke widely.
