My main concern is outside jury tampering. That does need to be punished and heavily discouraged.aezmvp said:
Saw that earlier but the thing is absolutely redacted to high heavens. My guess is that it gets, at best, a perfunctory investigation and shrugged off. There were some other press reports detailing a bit more from the prosecution about how the defense either misquoted or misrepresented some statements. I wouldn't be surprised to see it be completely true or completely false. No way to evaluate any of it based on the court filings.
Which I'm actually okay with at this time. Not because there weren't shennanigans or w/e, but because once you expose jurors during that process it could bring a lot of outside nonsense and that needs to not spill into the system. Yeah the SDNY is completely corrupt and nothing should be trusted there and both the judge and jury are or have some bad actors, but that's a VERY dangerous line to tread on imho.
