LITERARY SDNY, July 12 – On Day 3 of the Schulte jury deliberations, Kurt headed up to the 15th floor around 10:30 am. There had been a jury note.
In the courtroom, Schulte's two in-person standby counsel were whispering to him.
The note, it emerged, was about what was a "substantial step." It was in the instruction about Schulte's alleged attempted transmission of National Defense Information from inside the MCC jail.
Was drafting a tweet that was never sent a "substantial step"? Would putting it in a tweet-on-delay service change that?
Stand-by counsel put in a phone call to Ed Zas, still with the Federal Defenders, described on a guru. After a break, Schulte made some suggestions, and got a few in.
The jury entered, again not looking at Schulte.
Judge Furman read the agreed answer to them. They would also get redacted copies of the Berger testimony. Were they close? Not by 5 pm.
Kurt was still looking into the Special Administrative Measures imposed by then-AG Jeff Sessions and, he was told, continued under Marrick Garland. Of chains and the SCIF. More on Patreon here.
