SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 25 - In the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
a man charged with drug and
"ghost gun" offenses is
defending himself at trial.
On January
24, the trial proceeded before
Judge Lewis J. Liman, with
defendant Eric Lesane's
probation officer on the
witness stand being
cross-examined... by Lesane.
He ended each question with,
"Is that correct?" Sometimes
it was, and sometimes it
wasn't.
Judge
Vernon S. Broderick had the
case but, now presiding over
the death penalty trial of
Sayfullo Saipov, on January 6
he docketed an order that
trial would proceed before
Judge Liman, and that the
parties must proposed
redactions to the sealed
Docket Number 51 by January 9.
It was ordered unsealed on
January 10 - but the link is
still dead as of January 24.
On January
25, Lesane crosse examined the
government's narcotics expert
(did her tests reveal the
origin of the cannabis? No);
next up was ATF firearms
interstate nexus expert Eric
Dornbusch, who said he began
with DoD then the Chicago
anti-gang unit, Brooklyn arson
and explosives unit and now
Hudson Valley. The courtroom
had various exhibit boxes. The
trial continues.
The case is US v.
Lesane, 22-cr-110 (Liman)
