Maduro Lawyer Says Needs to Share Discovery with Four Co Defendants Still at Liberty

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 1 – With police helicopters overhead and completing protests on Worth Street, Nicolas Maduro was bought on March 26 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, see below.

On March 30 his lawyer Barry Pollack filed opposition to the US Attorney's Office's proposed protective order, saying it would "severely limit the ability of Mr. Maduro Moros and Ms. Flores de Maduro to investigate the evidence and fully defend themselves against the charges. It applies to four individuals: Diosdado Cabello Rondón; Ramón Rodríguez Chacín, Nicolás Ernesto Maduro Guerra, and Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores." Filing on Patreon here.

On April 1, after a US Attorney's Office proposal, Pollack wrote in again, that "The government’s latest proposal, while a mild improvement on its original proposal, does not go nearly far enough. It would only allow the defense to be able to share Disclosure Material with prospective witnesses who are defendants in this case but have not appeared in this Court only after this Court has granted an application to take that witness’ deposition pursuant to Rule 15. But as set forth above, in order to obtain such an order from the Court, Ms. Maduro and Ms. Flores de Maduro would need to determine what information the prospective witness has, determine that the witness is material the case, and then make an application to the Court to demonstrate the witness’ unavailability for trial and the reason the witness is material to the case. Thus, the need to share Disclosure Material with the potential witness occurs before a Rule 15 application is made, not after it is granted." Full filing on Patreon here.
