FEDERAL COURT,
Nov 2 --
On
November 2,
months
after the DC
Circuit's
decision in US
v. Munchel, DDC Judge Timothy J.
Kelly
had before him
the case of Capitol
breach
defendant Zachary
Rehl, seeking
to re-open
his detention
hearing and
ultimately win
release like Thomas
Sibick did
before Judge Amy
Berman Jackson
the week
before. Inner
City Press live
tweeted that here
(podcast
here) (TV
Q&A here).
But on
Rehl,
with only an hour
from the jail,
that didn't
happen, at
least on November.
Inner City
Press live

(podcast here)
now in
Jan 6 case of
US v. Zachary
Rehl
(described as
leader of the
Philadelphia
Proud Boys) on
his motion to
be released
from detention
and other
motions.
Defense:
On July 1, the
initial order
to release
Zachary was
reversed - but
without any
new
information.
Then the court
received a
letter from
Zachary Rehl
about
dissatisfaction
with his
counsel, for
not
communicating
with him.
Rehl's
(new) lawyer:
This is a
unique case.
Without
communicating
with Zachary
Rehl, you
wouldn't know
what he
disagrees
with. So the
record was
silent... I
think the
photographer
just thought
it was cool to
zero in on
Zach and
Nordean with
the bullhorn
Rehl's
lawyer: The
grand jury
didn't find
Mr. Rehl to be
a leader.
There's just a
photo of him
with a
bullhorn.
Judge Timothy
J. Kelly:
Their argument
that he's a
leader is
based on more.
Isn't it a
fair
characterization
of what is in
the indictment
as leadership?
Rehl's
lawyer:
They've
wrongfully
accused him of
being the
leader of an
event where
500,000 people
showed up.
They say Rehl
is guilty
because
Domenic
Pezzola broke
a window.
Rehl's
lawyer: I need
to see the
conversations.
His
electronics
were seized so
we don't have
them. They
quote him,
"This is what
patriotism
looks like."
But what did
"this" refer
to? Mr Rehl
says, to the
crowd. We need
the whole
conversations.
[That is,
discovery]
Rehl's
lawyer: They
say Congress
recessed at
2:20. But
another
defense lawyer
looked it up
and saw it was
2:18. Rehl
went in
unequipped and
equivocal...
He could be
released. He
lives in a
modest row
house.
Rehl's
lawyer: I wish
there were
some kind of
half-way house
that could
monitor
people. But
there must be
some way to
release
him.
Judge
Kelly: Let me
hear from the
government,
noting that
you do have a
right to
discovery.
Let's here on
detention, or
re-opening
AUSA: I don't
know if we're
going to lose
Mr. Rehl.
These usually
are only for
an hour. [So,
10 to 10:56
am]
Judge
Kelly: I was
not aware of
that.
10:58
am: AUSA:
There is
nothing new in
the filings.
There was no
reply brief.
The court
judged Mr.
Rehl should be
detained.
There is no
basis to
disturb the
determination.
In terms of
prior
counsel's
work, it
wasn't in the
briefing.
We're working
with new
counsel
AUSA:
In terms of
statements on
Parler --
Judge Kelly:
If you don't
have them, you
don't have any
obligation to
produce them.
I'm not going
to resolve the
detention
motion today,
but soon.
Judge
Kelly: For
now,
multi-defendant
trials can
only be held
in the
ceremonial
courtroom.
Your motion
for a bill of
particulars
will be
addressed at
further date.
The parties
are dismissed.
