SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 24 - 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.
The case is US v.
Lesane, 22-cr-110 (Liman)
