FEDERAL COURT,
March 31 – Minutes
into a break in the
impeachment trial in
the U.S. Senate, accused
insurrectionist Domenic
Pezzola was ordered
detained until
trial by
Magistrate
Judge Robin M.
Meriweather.
Inner City
Press live
tweeted it, below. There
was an appeal.
Now on March 31,
after the DC
Circuit's
decision in US
v. Munchel, DDC District
Judge Ketanji
Brown
Jackson,
nominated for
the DC
Circuit, rejected
DOJ
attempt to
exclude Speedy
Trial Act time
until it
provides a
huge tranche
of videos to all or
most
defendants. It
was in the
case of US v.
Brian
Gundersen, and
Inner City
Press live
tweeted it, here:
Assistant
US Attorney
Birney says
even in a few
weeks he won't
have the
discovery
ready, because
of the wider
case.
Judge
Ketanji B.
Jackson:
Mr Ohm?
Federal
Defender Ohm:
This is
disturbing.
Discovery is
the info used
to prosecute
Mr. Gundersen,
not gazillion
videos
Ohm:
It's like
saying, here's
5000 hours of
jail calls,
we're going to
use two of
them. Judge: I
think he said
the government
wants to give
all defense
attorneys all
of the videos.
Ohm: It only
works if they
identify which
parts they're
going to use.
Federal
Defender Ohm:
DOJ shouldn't
bring a case
if it is not
ready to
prosecute.
They could
dismiss and
re-start. But
instead they
want an
indefinite
pause. Why
should we
agree to
exclude
[Speedy Trial
Act] time
until May 19?
This is not
acceptable.
Judge
Ketanji: Mr.
Ohm's concerns
are
reasonable.
Hopefully
[AUSA] Birney
can make some
headway in his
office in
terms of
inquiring
about a
pre-trial
disposition.
My reaction is
to amend the
courts order
on Speedy
Trial and have
us come back
on April 30
AUSA Birney:
I'm away. How
about May 6?
Federal
Defender Ohm:
I'd like it a
week before
April 30. Or a
commitment on
when discovery
will be
available.
AUSA: Mr.
Ohm is going
to get video
of his client
in the
Capitol, 302s
and video of
his client
being in the
Capitol.
Judge
Jackson: So
April 22 at
10:30 am. I'll
sign the
protective
order.
Adjourned.
We will
have more on
this.
