OK - in #HezbollahTrial of Alexei Saab, deliberation today - now lawyers convening in 318 for 1st time. Inner City Press has covered the trial innercitypress.com/sdny12ugardeph… and (honor killing?) vibe innercitypress.com/literary1hezbo… and will live tweet to verdict, thread below
The Saab jury has sent a note for transcripts.
Judge Gardephe: We'll send them in with highlighers and PostIt Notes "at no extra charge."
[Laughter]
Assistant US Attorney: We have been pre-redacting the transcript.
[Still this will take time - no verdict soon.]
Update of 12:19 pm - Saab jurors have asked for more transcripts. AUSA says they're working as fast as they can.
Meanwhile for 12:45 pm proceeding in JPMorgan Chase v. Tesla, corporate lawyers assembling in 318. Inner City Press will live tweet, separate thread Image
OK - Inner City Press did live tweet JPMC v. Telsa (below) and now Judge Gardephe has another note from the jury.
Judge Gardephe: They ask about Count 5, citizenship application fraud. We have some smart people on the jury.
[Also, they may be getting close]
AUSA: We're printing the transcripts.
Judge Gardephe: 250 pages? I'll explain to them the delay. We'll say we're assuming you still want 12 copies. If for some reason you don't...
[Here's the JPM Chase v Telsa / Musk thread
AUSA: Just refer them back to the elements on Page 43.
Judge Gardephe: That's what I'm inclined to do. Thank you.
[Story coming on Telsa / Musk, to be followed by one later today on Saab, whether or not verdict reached today. Over/Under?]
On Saab, Judge Gardephe has just summoned back to courtroom 318 the lawyers (including one who was at Saipov West Side HIghway van killing proceeding, below). He says, it's 5 pm, what time did they get the transcript? Earlier. Here's Saipov:
Judge Gardephe: Ladies and gentlemen, we are sending you home for the evening. Please do not discuss the case.
[Nevertheless, interim update story later]

OK - now in "We Build the Wall" case of Kolfage (who pleaded guilty innercitypress.com/sdny12ibannonk…), pre-trial conference on Tim Shea. Judge Analisa Torres just said his communication with his wife can be admitted at trial. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below Image
Judge Torres: Defense requests that the US not be able to put in evidence of not paying taxes, calling it irrelevant. The US argues not reporting income from We Build the Wall is relevant. I rule that the evidence may be introduced.
Assistant US Attorney: We don't want the jury to hear about his children, or his faith.
Shea's lawyer: We want the jury to know that he lives in Colorado and that's why his family is not in the gallery.
AUSA: We want no reference to Mr. Bannon's pardon.

OK - now in Jan 6 case of Stewart Rhodes (and MEGGS, HARRELSON, WATKINS, MINUTA, HACKETT, MOERSCHEL, CALDWELL & VALLEJO) Rhodes' lawyer says his client was "lost" for month, until April 26. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Rhodes' lawyer says his client's phone was the master phone, wants the whole download because he say there is exculpatory information in chats the US did not include.
Judge Mehta: I've been told that the most people we could have in a trial is six. We could not do a 9 person trial, even in the Ceremonial Courtroom. I am not going to push the Marshal Service too far. So, six is the max. No one is entitled to a trial with others

OK - now in Jan 6 case, sentencing of Aaron Mostofsky. Inner City Press has covered his case innercitypress.com/edny2mostofsky… and will live tweet - US is asking for jail time as deterrent, just cited QAnon Shaman. Thread below
Mostofsky's lawyer: The videos shown by the government are emotionally powerful, we'll stipulate to that. But prosecutors arguments are quite hollow. They say his purpose was to assault democracy. That is false. Mostofsky was like Zelig, a character from the film
Mostofsky's lawyer: My client wears costumes all the time, including the cave man costume at issue. He did not plan to go to the Capitol, only the rally.

[This could take a while]

OK - now Jan 6 case of Joshua Doolin and others. Even with DOJ now projecting a trial date of August or September, Doolin wants his trial severed so he can go to trial sooner. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Judge Carl J. Nichols: I have other trials. So the fasted I could do a Doolin specific trial would be in June. My best time would be September. That's the only time I could do it this year.
[Now's the "Doolin plus" indictment justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
Judge Nichols: The case has been around for a while. But there is a significant amount of discovery. I'm not suggesting there is a Constitutional interest. But the defendants' interests are diverging. So I am going to sever Mr. Doolin and set his trial for Sept 12

and will live tweet to verdict, thread below
Judge Gardephe took the bench after noon and said
Jury wants testimony of Dr. Levitt (we've touched on his podcast) and a projector and to know if they have to agree on the "theory of liability." It would seem they are not close to a verdict at this point
Judge Gardephe has summoned the jurors in and begins by reading back to them their note. His answer(s)
Judge: We are putting the transcripts together. Sorry, we don't have projectors. On theory of liability - yes, you have to be anonymous as at least 1 theory
