SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 20 – In the conclusion of
the month long trial of
accused CIA leaker Joshua
Schulte, on the morning of
March 9, 2020 the jury
returned guilty verdicts on
Counts 8 and 10, with mistrial
granted on all other counts.
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul A. Crotty set March
26 for the next date.
Then it was moved to April 22
(then May 18). March 9 thread

On March 22
for his second trial, Schulte
with the US Attorney's
Office's consent proposed to
Judge Crotty delaying the
second trial from May 10 to
the fourth quarter of 2021,
with time under the Speedy
Trial Act to be excluded to
October 1.
On
November 9, 2021, a status
conference was held before
Judge Jesse M. Furman to whom
the case has been reassigned.
Inner City Press live tweeted
it here
- the upshot is a May 23,
2022 trial date has been set.

On January 18,
2022 - docketed on January 20
-- Schulte wrote to Judge
Furman that he wants to
relieve his current stand-by
counsel (one of whom
represented him on the
multiple mistrial counts) and
replace them, "based on my
intent to call my attorneys as
fact witnesses at trial and
ongoing issues."
Schulte
says only his attorneys had
"Malware of the Mind" and
calls them rude and more. He
says he is not visited - but
the MDC has been in lock-down
for some time. Will Judge
Furman grant the motion,
joined in by stand-by counsel?
Recent in the EDNY in
Brooklyn, a motion by Sarah
Kunstler was denied by Judge
Edward R. Korman, or
withdrawn, as Inner City Press
reported.

Back on
December 28, Schulte wrote two
letters to Judge Furman. In
the first, he disagreed with
the position that his stand-by
counsel do not have to help
him with his appeals to the
Second Circuit.
In the
second letter, he complained
among other things that he is
not being allowed to buy
stamps in the MDC, to send his
own appeals to the 2d Circuit.
He asked Judge Furman to oper
to the MDC to allow SAMs
inmates to purchase stamps
like general population
inmates, or allow his family
to mail him stamps.
On January 19,
the US Attorney's Office
replied that, among other
things, "the defendant should
again be able to purchase
stamps." They add that Schulte
between November 1, 2021 and
January 11, 2022 receive more
than 50 pieces of legal mail.
They said they'll be calling
Schulte on January 20. Watch
this site.
On December
20 in large courtroom 26B,
Judge Furman held another
conference with Schulte and
his stand-by counsel. Earlier
on, Judge Furman said that
Schulte is not free to treat
his stand-by counsel like
"potted plants." He urged the
defense and prosecutors to
talk and work things out
without so frequently
requesting judicial
intervention.
Schulte
complained of delays in
getting in and out of the MDC,
citing the US v. Ghislaine
Maxwell case. Judge Furman
noted that the case was in
closing arguments - actually,
jury charge by then. Inner
City Press went back to it but
will remain on both cases.

Back on September
15, Judge Crotty held another
proceeding with Schulte and
his stand-by counsel. It was
said that the MCC will
*not* be fully shut down.
Inner City Press live tweeted
it. But now, after Schulte's
trial has been postpone "sin
die," he has been moved to the
MDC: "JOSHUA ADAM SCHULTE
Register Number: 79471-054
Age: 33
Race: White
Sex: Male
Located at: Brooklyn MDC
Release Date: UNKNOWN." [And
see its Oct 15 MCC video here]
On March 2
