FEDERAL COURT, July 16 -- On June 11, months after the DC Circuit's decision in US v. Munchel, DDC Magistrate Zia Faruqui held a proceeding on Pauline Bauer. It did not go well. Inner City Press live tweeted it here and below. Song here. He ordered Bauer to appear in person on June 18, pushed back to June 21 by the observance of the Juneteenth Federal holiday.
On June 21, Judge Faruqui held an in-person proceeding with Bauer - and detained her for criminal contempt. Inner City Press live tweet that here, podcast here.
On June 22, after Bauer spent the night in DC Jail at 1901 D Street, SE, she appeared again before Judge Faruqui. Without signing anything, and saying she would drive to Mount Rushmore from June 30 to July 15, she was released. Inner City Press again live tweeted it, below.
Now weeks later, the assigned stand-by counsel has disclosed that Bauer has still not been given access to her discovery, videos. Apparently, the US Attorney's Office for DC, which gives USAfx access to select media, hasn't given this defendant (or other Press which have requested) any access. What is going on here? "Counsel has sent an email to Ms. Bauer advising her of the discovery production. However the videos themselves are too large to email.
Accordingly, there are several options for providing Ms. Bauer with the discovery. Either the government could grant access to Ms. Bauer to the USAfx platform; or it could upload the videos and other discovery onto an external hard drive or USB flash drive and mail these directly to Ms. Bauer. Alternatively, undersigned counsel could undertake the responsibility of delivering the materials to Ms. Bauer by mail or by uploading the discovery to a secure cloud based platform similar to USAfx but whose access is not controlled by the USAO. 3 Counsel awaits the Court’s direction on the role it wishes standby counsel to undertake on discovery and other pretrial issues."
From June 22: Judge Faruqui: The conditions would be to turn in your firearms, until your court case is over. You have 2d Amendment rights. If you will say you will comply, I will release you.
Pauline Bauer: I am one of God's creations...
AUSA Steiner: Since Ms. Bauer is proceeding pro se, it may take some time to agree on a protective order. Is email the best way to reach her? Judge Faruqui: She can email or mail or bring it to the courthouse. Pauline Bauer: I tried yesterday.
We will have more on this.
