FEDERAL COURT,
May 3 – 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.
On
May 3,
well
over a
month after
the DC
Circuit's
decision in US
v. Munchel, DDC
Judge Amy
Berman Jackson
heard
arguments on
detaining
in US v. Karl
Dresch. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it, here (Podcast

Judge
Amy B. Jackson
recounts
Dresch's
concerns about
media
vilification.
She says, it
may have been
covered in
Michigan but
not much here
in DC, in any
event she
doesn't
consider that.
She says she
got a letter
from Michigan
urging her to
detain Dresch.
She quotes
Munchel, that
bail
determinations
must be
forward
looking.
Defense
lawyer
cuts in to say
he was
disconnected
for a few
minutes.
Now
Judge Amy B.
Jackson is
inquiring into
guns found in
Dersch's
house. She is
told that they
only found two
guns, and that
"just having
knowledge is
not the same
as
possession."
Assistant
US Attorney:
The first
search was
only for Jan 6
evidence.
After that, an
ATF warrant
was executed
and found two
more guns and
rounds in the
backpack that
traveled to
DC. As a
convicted
felon, he was
prohibited
from having
any of this.
Dersch's
lawyer: If you
have a search
warrant for
chihuahuas,
it's hard to
understand you
not finding
Dobermann
Pinschers
Judge
Amy B. Berman:
A letter
writer calls
Dresch a "good
kid." But he's
40. Tom Brady
won many Super
Bowls by then.
MLK was dead
by then. We
are assessing
an adult.
AUSA:
The defense
calls this
impulsive and
reckless
behavior. But
this was
dangerous - he
expressed
disrespect for
law
enforcement,
and had guns.
It doesn't
matter than
his prior
charges were 8
years ago.
This is who he
is.
Dresch's
lawyer: What
he was proud
of was doing
to DC to
support his
president. He
won't do it
again. He
lives on the
Upper
Peninsula of
Michigan. He
asked on
Facebook the
night before,
I'm not sure
what the point
of this is.
Dresch's
lawyer: I feel
like I'm
"beating my
head against a
dead horse...
I think I've
said my
piece."
AUSA:
That remove
Upper
Peninsula of
Michigan is
very close to
the Canadian
border - so,
he shouldn't
be released.
Judge
Amy B.
Jackson: I'm
going to take
this under
advisement.
I'm not going
to decide now.
I have things
to think about
We will
have more on
this.
