SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 3 –
The Southern
District of
New York
courthouse,
which Inner
City Press has
covered nearly
alone this
summer amid
the COVID-19
pandemic, was
jumping on
August 20,
2022 Video here.
In the
afternoon,
Steve Bannon
would appear
in person
before a
judge. After
pleading not
guilty, he
told the press
as he left the
courthouse,
"This entire
fiasco is to
stop people
who want to
build the
wall."
This came after
more than two hours of
chanting by three then six
people with flags, pro-Bannon:
"CCP violence, stop the
killing." Inner City Press
spoke with them, video here.

On August
31, 2020 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Analisa Torres
held a proceeding, and Inner
City Press live tweeted it,
below.
On June 7, 2021
Judge Torres declared a
mistrial on all three counts.
Inner City Press live tweeted
it here
and below.
In the re-trial,
Shea was convicted. Then on
November 3, this from the US:
" on October 29, 2022—after
the jury returned a verdict on
October 28, 2022—one of the
undersigned Assistant United
States Attorneys (the “AUSA”)
received a communication from
an individual whom the
Government has learned is the
adult child of a juror
(“Person-1”). By way of
background, over the past
approximately three years,
Person-1 and the AUSA have had
periodic communications
regarding Person-1’s education
and career, and in which
Person-1 sought career-related
advice. Person-1 and the AUSA
attended the same college at
different times. The AUSA has
never met or communicated with
Person-1’s mother. On October
25, 2022, Person-1, who is
currently a law student
outside of the New York City
metropolitan area, emailed the
AUSA to provide an update on
Person-1’s education and
career, and sought
career-related advice.
Person-1 did not reference
this case or Person-1’s
mother. On October 29, 2022,
after the trial in this matter
was concluded, the AUSA
responded to Person-1’s email
and, as is relevant here,
noted that the AUSA had just
finished the trial in this
case. That same day, Person-1
responded, in pertinent part,
as follows: My mom was on the
jury of your case! She was
juror row. I’ve heard lots
about it all week,
congratulations on the win!
What a funny coincidence. Good
thing my mom didn’t make the
connection beforehand and have
to recuse herself. I know she
enjoyed it" - full letter on
