FEDERAL COURT, Feb 28 – While January 6 cases like US v. Guy Reffitt have from their beginnings been available to cover by public call-in phone lines, now the US v. Reffitt trial has no call-in line.
Inner City Press on February 8 requested one, in writing, here. It has covering the case from the beginning, here. It continues to cover other January 6 cases, for example US v. Hale-Cusanelli on February 28, here. But also on February 28, jury selection in US v. Reffitt began, with no call-in line. Song here.
For now, we'll report that Judge Dabney Friedrich told prospective jurors to turn off their phones for news alert notifications - an echo of the Sarah Palin v. New York Times fiasco in the Southern District of New York (where the US v. Lev Parnas trial, for example, was available worldwide by call-in line).
On the UN beat, with Inner City Press also covers, prospective juror # 16 seems to be the stepson of Kelly Craft, US Ambassador to the UN under the previous Administration. We'll have more on this.
