COURTHOUSE,
June 25 – In the closing
arguments on March 6, AUSA
Tarlow said that narco
trafficking had grown under
JOH. On March 7, out of the
hearing of the jury and for
then the Press, JOH's lawyer
Stabile said he'd heard
different overnight.
From who?
The
defendant's wife he said.
Was this
just a play for a mistrial?
Judge Castel
concluded it was, and denied
Stabile's motion, Order on

Later on March 8,
the verdict, here-
then the book Narco Drama in English then Spanish.
On May 9, Judge
Castel denied JOH's motion for
a new trial. Order on Patreon
here.
On June 10, JOH's
lawyer asked for delay. Letter
on Patreon here.
On June 21 JOH's
lawyer Stabile near midnight
asked for a 40 year sentence,
saying it is the minimum and
"Mr. Hernandez is 55 years
old, so a 40 year sentence
equals a life sentence for Mr.
Hernandez." But science...
Early on
June 22, letters were filed
including Ana Hernandez, trashing the
trial, full letter on Patreon
here.
Late on
June 24, the US Attorney's
Office wrote in requesting on
Juan Orlando Hernandez "that
the Court should impose a
sentence of life imprisonment,
order the defendant to forfeit
$15,525,000 and pay a $10
million fine."
On June 25, JOH's
lawyer wrote in asking that
Juan Orlando Hernandez remain
in MDC Brooklyn for his own
safety, and so he can best
work on his appeal, citing the
example of SBF. Proposed order
on Patreon here.
