| EDNY Spox Marzulli
Ousted Me Amid Huawei and Clase
Trials So Lawsuit in SDNY
Seeking Full Access
OUTSIDE
EDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 11 â As
I covered two trials in the Federal
courthouse in Brooklyn on November 4, I was
targeted by the DOJ prosecutors' spokesman
John Marzulli and then the office of EDNY
District Executive Eugene Corcoran and
marched out of the courthouse by three
federal Court Security Officers. Seven days later I am still
out, having missed four day of the US v Huawei
sanctions violation trial and three days of
the US v Clase baseball pitch rigging trial.
What gave the prosecutors' spokesman or spox
the supposed right and separately motive to
get me thrown out? Filed on November 11 in the
Southern District of New York the lawsuit
26-cv-9896 seeking judical review and full
access to EDNY - complaint on CourtListener here
It has been sent to Marzulli, and US
Attorney Nocella, the EDNY District
Executive's Office via Michael Loguercio, and
the SDNY Civil Division Chief. Marzulli pulled the levers in the
closed world of EDNY to get the Press that
reported it ousted and excluded. Judge Kovner
docketed one of Inner City Press' emailed
request to make a case against ICE public -
but said in the future it must file at the
EDNY Clerk's Office it can no longer reach
thanks to Marzulli. We'll have more on this. What
was my alleged crime? Using
a cell phone in the courtroom of EDNY Judge
Kiyo Matsumoto to live tweet the opening
arguments in the baseball bribery trial of
US v. Clase. Notably, this supposed
crime, with which a full day later I have
not been charged in writing, was only
alleged by the US Attorney's Office's
Marzulli, ignoring those friendly to him
using cell phones right next to him. It reflects
poorly on the US Attorney's Office and DOJ,
to have personnel falsely and selectively
accusing people and having them punished
without due process. Is that what DOJ does
not want the Press to report it is doing in
the friendly (to it) confines of the EDNY?
Is that why DOJ has at least 90 sealed
cases / deals with cooperators that Inner
City Press has had to appeal to the Second
Circuit? Is this all just retaliation?
