SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 12 – Former NYC Comptroller, now Congressional candidate Brad Lander was in the SDNY courthouse again on February 12, on the complaint following his detention in 26 Federal Plaza. Inner City Press was the first media in the courtroom and live tweeted:
All rise! Magistrate Judge Ricardo: Should we be scheduling a trial? You're still discussing discovery-
AUSA Ariel Cohen: We'll give more discovery next week. Our case would take half a day. We're ready
Defense: We're told there were no operable cameras in the elevators or the 30th floor holding cell. Judge: You're trying to use GSA regulations- Defense: Absolutely. They have to show that usual activities were obstructed unreasonably
Judge Ricardo: Could you obstruct me from getting on the bench? Defense: It depends Magistrate Judge Ricardo: There are other judges considering ICE, DHS - Defense: Judge Kaplan
Defense: We propose May 11 for trial, March 4 for our motion. AUSA: Schedule would be OK - but we disagree on the law
Possible argument April 14 at 2. Adjourned
