SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 9 – For the Citibank wire
transfers virtual trial
scheduled for December 9,
there is a dispute about which
technological platform to use.
On
November 9 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Jesse M. Furman
held proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge
Furman has written in advance
that he "is currently
conducting a fully remote
bench trial - using
TrialGraphix, which is a
zoom-based platform - and it
has worked remarkably
well."
Then Citibank's
lawyer John Baughman
complained that the lead
defense counsel Michael
Carlinksy's brother is a
principal in TrialGraphix, and
Citibank does not want that
platform used.
Judge
Furman asked the parties to
propose to him other
platforms. To his credit he
said he'd like if possible to
provide video and not just
telephone access to the press
and public. A YouTube channel
was suggested.
