Alexander Brother Hired Diddy Lawyers Who Requests Jury Questionnaire Now US by Oct 31

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 28 –  Amid the news of the arrest of the Alexander brothers in Miami on SDNY sex trafficking charges, in the SDNY Magistrate Court on the morning of December 11 the superseding indictment was "wheeled out" to District Judge Valerie E. Caproni. Inner City Press was there, and tweeted / X-ed it out.  

On December 24 Tal Alexander filed opposing transfer to SDNY - Notice of motion on Patreon here.

On December 31 Tal Alexander's lawyer wrote to Judge Caproni asking for bail, offering $115 million in security, citing US v. Ng Lap Seng that "conditions were adhered to by the security service provider." Really? Massages behind closed doors? 12 page filing on Patreon here

On January 27 they wrote in asking to move that to February 12, to seek local / New York counsel and retrieve their legal papers, full letter on Patreon here

On January 29, "NOTICE OF APPEAL (Interlocutory) by Alon Alexander

On January 31, ADJOURNED to Friday, February 7, 2025

Inner City Press live tweeted on February 7, a dispute about the proposed protective order, and the setting of January 5, 2026 as the trial date, thread here

On May 5 the defense wrote in asking for a conference.

On May 8 the prosecutors docketed a superseding indictment - nine counts with six victims, on Patreon here

On June 13 Judge Caproni to her credit docketed that a "Rule, in turn, requires any party wishing to file a submission in redacted form or under seal to explain why redactions or sealing are appropriate in light of the presumption of public access to the federal courts. See United States v. Akhavan, 532 F. Supp. 3d 181, 184 (S.D.N.Y. 2021) -- a case Inner City Press sought and won unsealing in -  citing Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 11920 (2d Cir. 2006))."

On August 21 Oren Alexander retained two of the defense lawyers in Sean Combs' recent trial, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, amid pre-trial skirmishes.

On August 27 the duo filed asking asking for two more weeks on experts, noting that the US has "a purported expert on rape trauma syndrome" whom they will target with a Daubert motion. Filing on Patreon here

Past midnight on October 27-28 Agnifilo filed that "The pretrial publicity in this case has been rampant for over a year now. It has been incredibly one-sided in favor of the government’s view of the evidence (and often worse, in light of the many false and unfounded claims being filed by civil plaintiffs) and against all three Alexander Brothers. Potential juror bias must be rigorously ferreted out in the jury selection" - full filing on Patreon here

On October 28, Judge Caproni endorsed: "letter from Marc Agnifilo, Esq. dated October 27, 2025 re: Extension of 412 Deadline and Defense's Position on Jury Questionnaire. ENDORSEMENT: Defendants' request to extend the deadline to submit Rule 412 disclosures is GRANTED. The deadline to submit Rule 412 disclosures is ADJOURNED from Friday, October 31, 2025, to Monday, November 10, 2025. The Government is directed to file a response outlining its objections, if any, to Defendants' request to use a written jury questionnaire to facilitate voir dire by Friday, October 31, 2025. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 10/28/2025).

Meanwhile Marc Agnifilo is representing Stephanie Gonzalez, charged in state court with hate crime assault of a Jewish woman while tearing down posters of October 7 hostages, here
