Liman seeking a 60 day delay in the conference set for January 13 as it is "still awaiting a final decision from the Capital Case Section as to whether the case will be a capital one."   On March 12 the AUSA wrote in: "Direction from Attorney General Not To Seek the Death Penalty for Jeffrey German Murder. Document filed by USA." On July 13 as to co-defendant MacCow, defense counsel asked to extend the motion schedule "to allow for the continuation of plea negotiations." On July 27 another co-defendant pleaded guilty: "Mario Medina sworn, withdraws previous plea of Not Guilty and enters a plea of Guilty to Count 2 and lesser included offense in Count 4 of the (S1) Superseding Indictment."   This case is USA v. Jones, et al., 1:25-cr-345 (Liman) *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
