I know she was the prosecutor on the Jolene Maxwell case. You know, I just saw that this morning and I'm not sure if it's an addition of a prosecutor or just the she's replacing somebody who left. But it could indicate that they're getting ready to do because they have the grand jury proceeding going on. So there could be another indictment coming.
But I mean, it's just another AUSA joining the case who has experience in sex trafficking cases.
Yes. Yes, she was. She prosecuted Maxwell. So she has experience in this type of child in the sex trafficking case and then also child sex trafficking.
I mean, I think the grand jury investigation that's ongoing is the biggest thing that spells trouble for him. So I think the addition of the new prosecutor, I mean, like I said, she might be just replacing. So I'd have to check. I've been so busy with the YSL trial that I haven't. But I mean, she's an experienced AUSA in the Southern District of New York, and she's joining the case.
So it could indicate that perhaps there's going to be another indictment soon with more co-defendants.
expecting anyway yeah what it would be a superseding indictment or or you think another probably co-conspirator who would be indicted uh superseding on him with other co-defendants i think um so that would conceivably push the trial date again yeah definitely i mean the idea that he's actually going to go to trial in may is kind of i don't think that's ever going to happen but
He's not – currently it's scheduled in May because he's not waiving his right to a speedy trial. But they can force a trial continuance even if he won't waive his right if he has co-defendants. And they've – I mean they've said that there's an ongoing grand jury investigation. Usually when you have a conspiracy case, you get co-indictees.
Could. I mean, they've prosecutors have said that they've point blank said there's another grand jury investigation going on.
Yeah, they filed a letter today, his lawyers complaining about a lack of access to a laptop and then the restrictions that they've placed on him they don't like. It's like really limited when he can look at it. So they want that lifted. It's a request to the judge on that. So that was just filed today.
Yeah, it'd be to prepare for the case, do discovery, look at discovery, that kind of thing, do case preparation. And that's common. You definitely see that in other cases with incarcerated inmates where they have access to laptops. And his lawyers are saying the restrictions he faces are more restrictive than what others have had to face.
I think in a case like this, people are really interested in the filings and kind of the goings-on, all the intricate details that the lawyers are talking about in the PACER file. So I've been – I look at those case documents, and I try to prioritize posting new updates on the criminal case. But there's so many civil cases going on that I'm not really tracking anything. everything on that.
But I am paying attention to the anonymity requests that we're seeing in the Southern District of New York, where the plaintiffs want to proceed anonymously under Jane Doe or John Doe, and they're having to litigate that through with some opposition. So I think that's an interesting thing to look at. But just that all the allegations that are being thrown around.
It depends on when it happens. Like I said, I don't think it's actually going to happen next year. Probably more is going to happen maybe in 2026. And the way the Southern District of New York works, it's not very welcoming to outside reporters. If you're not there all the time, you can't get credentials for the media room.
And the media room is where all the live transmitting goes on, live postings. typing on a computer. And if you don't have access to the media room, you would just go to the courtroom, which is great, but you would just be taking notes by hand. So it just kind of depends on the logistics of things there and how it works. And like I said, when it actually goes to trial, it's going to be a
Well, I mean, I wouldn't, I couldn't say that for sure. But just the fact, he's not waiving his right to a speedy trial. So if they don't get co-indictees, he could force them to trial in May. But if he gets other charges or co-indictees, they can change that. So I think it's pretty much, you know, we'll see.
I think we'll see an appeal to the Second Circuit. So that would be his fourth time. And I think it's just kind of an example of having a lot of money and a lot of lawyers. But in the end, there's only so much the lawyers can do for him in terms of money. You know, he's been indicted. Anything that comes up, they're obviously pursuing and being really aggressive about it.
But the obvious thing for them to pursue is bail. So they're doing everything they can on that. But I think it's unlikely that, I mean, it was always unlikely because the charges favor pre-incarceration. It was always unlikely he was going to change anyone's mind on that. So I think it's unlikely the Second Circuit is going to do anything for him.
But, you know, his lawyers are always going to be able to find a way to spend his money.
Yeah, they filed something a while ago saying that he was using the jail phones, unauthorized use of the jail phones, doing three-way calls and paying other inmates to let him use their access codes to...
access it uh access calls so his calls wouldn't be traceable and they had recordings of him talking to family members about coordinating like a pr campaign regarding his birthday and and a lot of it is redacted in the public filings uh
