Tazewell County judge not retained for another term;


TAZEWELL COUNTY
BYLINE: Andy Kravetz, GATEHOUSE MEDIA ILLINOIS

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. A3

LENGTH: 254 words

A Tazewell County associate judge was not retained by the 10 elected judges of the 10th Circuit.
Kirk Schoenbein was one of only five associate judges statewide who were not retained for another four-year term on
the bench. There are 21 judgeships within the state's 10th Judicial Circuit, which includes Peoria, Tazewell, Marshall,
Stark and Putnam counties. Ten of those seats are for circuit judges who are elected by popular vote to six-year terms.
The remaining 11 seats - including Schoenbein - are for associate judges who are appointed by a tally of circuit judges
to serve four-year terms.
Schoenbein sat in one of Tazewell County's two civil courtrooms. His term will end June 30.
Statewide, there were five judges including two in the neighboring 9th Circuit which includes Knox, Warren, Fulton,
Hancock and McDonough counties, who were not retained. The two 9th Circuit judges are Anthony W. Vaupel and
Patricia A. Walton.
When reached for comment, Schoenbein, who was appointed in 2013, said he learned of the decision from Chief Judge
Paul Gilfillan.
"As with the jury verdicts that I lost as an attorney, I respect the circuit judges' decision on my retention," he said in a
statement. "I am indeed grateful for the 5 1/2 years they conferred upon me that rare privilege for any attorney, to decide
cases and not just argue me." Prior to the bench, Schoenbein was a state and federal prosecutor as well as a public
defender for more than 20 years.
There was no word on whether Schoenbein's spot will be filled.

PPP, PML-N to blame themselves for what Nawaz, Zardari facing today
BYLINE: Ansar Abbasi

SECTION: Vol. 29 No. 79

LENGTH: 643 words

After Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari's arrest may further aggravate PPP-PML-N's anger against the ruling PTI but facts
show that these two leading opposition parties are mainly responsible for what their leaders are facing today.
The opposition alleges that the NAB under Justice (R) Javed Iqbal is targeting the PPP and PML-N because of pressure
from Prime Minister Imran Khan. However, the fact is that the NAB Chairman Javed Iqbal was appointed during the
last PML-N tenure only after the retired judge's nomination was informally cleared by both Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali
Zardari.
Formally, Javed Iqbal's appointment was made after the consultation between the then PML-N Prime Minister Shahid
Khaqan Abbasi and Leader of the Opposition Syed Khursheed Shah of PPP. The PTI, which was then sitting in the
opposition benches, was not involved in any manner in the appointment of Justice (R) Javed Iqbal as NAB Chairman.
Nawaz Sharif is in jail because of his conviction in Al-Azizia case, which was referred to NAB by the Supreme Court in
Panama case judgment during the last tenure of PML-N and when Nawaz was himself the Prime Minister.
Asif Ali Zardari, who was arrested on Monday by NAB after the Islamabad High Court rejected his bail application, is
an accused on fake account case, which was initiated by the FIA during the PML-N tenure and referred to the NAB by
the apex court for probe and prosecution. So the cases, which landed both Sharif and Zardari behind the bars, were
initiated before even the coming into power of the PTI.
The PPP and PML-N raise hue and cry against what the NAB is doing against their leaders. These parties accused the
NAB of being used for 'political victimisation' of the opposition parties and their leaders. They also dub the NAB law
draconian and charge the NAB chairman of selective accountability while using his discretionary powers.
The fact is that both the PPP and PML-N have been protesting even during General Musharraf's rule, when the NAB
was established, that the NAB law was draconian and was made to target the PPP and PML-N leaders. They have been
saying the NAB under Musharraf made politically motivated cases against their leaders.
For the same reason, the PPP and PML-N had committed in the Charter of Democracy, signed in London in May 2006,
that the NAB Ordinance 1999 will be repealed. It was also pledged that NAB will be replaced by an Independent
Accountability Commission.
In the CoD, it was committed, 'To replace politically motivated NAB with an independent accountability commission,
whose chairman shall be nominated by the prime minister in consultation with the leader of opposition and confirmed
by a joint parliamentary committee with 50 percent members from treasury benches and remaining 50 percent from
opposition parties in same manner as appointment of judges through transparent public hearing. The confirmed nominee
shall meet the standard of political impartiality, judicial propriety, moderate views expressed through his judgements
and would have not dealt.'
But the fact is that the NAB with all its draconian powers as were introduced during Musharraf tenure, continued as
such during the last tenures of PPP and PML-N. Neither the PPP, which ruled from 2008 to 2013, nor the PML-N,
whose tenure was 2013-2018, made any serious effort to repeal NAB law.

PPP, PML-N to blame themselves for what Nawaz, Zardari facing today The News International June 11, 2019 Tuesday

Although both the governments set up parliamentary committees to change the NAB law, nothing concrete happened
because both the government showed no keenness to even improve the NAB law. The effort has been to appoint a
choice NAB chairman.
The NAB, during the PPP and PML-N tenures, made no serious effort to check corruption. Instead, innumerable high
profile cases of corruption were either closed down or concluded in favour of influential accused because of 'managed
investigation' and 'friendly prosecution' of the NAB.

TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF JUDGE WILEY DANIEL; Congressional Record


Vol. 165, No. 92 (Extensions of Remarks - June 03, 2019)
LENGTH: 600 words

Washington: The Library of Congress, The Government of USA has issued the following Speech: HON. DIANA
DeGETTE of colorado in the house of representatives Monday, June 3, 2019 Ms. DeGETTE. Madam Speaker, I rise
today to recognize the life and achievements of Judge Wiley Daniel, the first African American judge appointed to the
U.S. District Court for Colorado, who recently passed away on Friday, May 10, 2019. Judge Daniel was born in 1946 in
Louisville, Kentucky and received his undergraduate and law degrees from Howard University in Washington, D.C. He
spent six years in private practice in Detroit before moving to Denver in 1977 where he practiced law for 24 years with
a specialty in civil litigation. In 1992, he rose to be the first--and only--African American president of the Colorado Bar
Association.
Three years later, President Bill Clinton appointed Mr. Daniel to the U.S. District Court for Colorado, becoming the first
African American federal judge in the state. Thirteen years after Judge Daniel took the bench, he became chief judge of
the court. Judge Daniel served admirably both inside and outside of the courtroom. He served as President of the
Federal Judges Association, a national organization that supports hundreds of federal judges. He also taught courses in
trial advocacy as an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado Law School and the University of Denver Sturm
College of Law, where he mentored students. Additionally, from 1998 to 2003, Judge Daniel was a Trustee of the
American Inns of Court Foundation, an organization which advocates for professionalism, ethics, civility and excellence
throughout the legal profession. Until his final days, Judge Daniel was active in his church--Park Hill United Methodist
in north Denver--where he served as a Deacon, sang in the choir and mentored young members. Judge Daniel believed
that racial and gender diversity in the judiciary is important. Accordingly, he was active in the Delta Eta Boule
fraternity, the nation's first African American professional organization. In fact, one of Daniel's passions was the
fraternity's scholarship program, which helps young, bright African American students in the metro Denver area attend
college. Judge Daniel retired in 2013 but continued to hear cases and guide younger lawyers. Not surprisingly, Judge
Daniel's distinguished legal career and dedication to the community has been recognized many times with numerous
awards and accolades. In 2006, Judge Daniel was honored with the American Inns of Court Foundation Professionalism
Award for the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. In 2012, he was inducted to the Blacks in Colorado Hall of Fame due to
his pioneering professional achievements. In 2013, Judge Daniel was awarded the King Trimble Lifetime Achievement
Award by the Sam Cary Bar Association. In 2015, Judge Daniel was selected as the recipient of the Lifetime
Achievement Award by the Center for Legal Inclusiveness in recognition of his lifelong commitment to diversity and
inclusiveness within the legal profession. Finally, in 2018, the National Black Prosecutors Association presented Daniel
with the Trailblazer Award. On May 10, 2019, at the age of 72, Judge Wiley Daniel passed away. He was one of the
trailblazing Coloradoans whose hands have shaped the United States into the great nation it is today. He was principled,
pragmatic, well-respected and beloved. That is why his legacy will live on for many decades to come. My heartfelt
condolences go out to his family, the Denver law community and all Coloradoans who mourn this terrible loss.

Judges accuse the Supreme Court of "usurping legislative functions"


LENGTH: 333 words

"The country deserves jurists, not managers or legislators," stated the president of The National Association of
Magistrates of the judiciary, Soledad Piñeiro, by objecting to the system of nomination of judges proposed by the
Supreme Court for the Appointment of new judges.
In the opinion of the Organization, the way in which the highest court has proceeded, arguing a lack of "objectivity" in
the process currently being performed to appoint magistrates, affects "the separation of jurisdictional functions of
the Administrative ".

As proposed on Monday the plenary of the Supreme, the procedure will depart with a so-called "blind Curriculum",
which implies that the names of the applicants should not be known, those who must subsequently perform a test of
knowledge .
Together with this provision, it establishes that contests are transparentarán by public hearings.
"We strongly oppose the Supreme Court to follow the path of usurping legislative functions. The design delivered
circumvents the essential: the separation of jurisdictional functions of the administrative, the fundamental to
ensure and strengthen judicial independence, saidPiñeiro.
Likewise, the leader of the magistrates stated that "we hope that Congress and the government will defend their
prerogatives against this improper exercise of regulatory powers that wants to continue exercising the Supreme
Court," said Piñeiro, adding That "the country deserves jurists in its highest court, not managers or legislators."
The current process of appointment of judges has been questioned after a crisis erupted in the judiciary of the O'Higgins
region and the nomination of Judge Dobra Lusic as a new member of the highest court failed.
Next Friday, a joint work table will be launched to address both the proposal of the judiciary, presented on
Monday, as the executive is preparing to reform the general system of appointing magistrates in court.

Lagos Chief Judge retires


LENGTH: 298 words

The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Opeyemi Oke, retired on Monday after attaining the mandatory retirement
age of 65 years.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Oke, born on June 10, 1954, was appointed as the 16th chief judge of
Lagos State by former Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode in September, 2017.
Oke, is an alumnus of the University of Ife, Ile-Ife now Obafemi Awolowo University, where she read law from 1973 to
1978.
She enrolled at the Nigerian Law School from 1978 to 1979 and the Coppin State College in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.
from 1980-1982 for a Master of Science Degree in Criminal Justice.
She began her professional career as a counsel at the law firm of Otesanya and Otesanya in 1979 before she joined the
Lagos State Judiciary as a senior magistrate.
Oke rose through the ranks to become chief magistrate grade one from 1986 to 1996 and a deputy chief registrar
between 1993 to 1994.
She was appointed Judge of High Court of Lagos State on July 19, 1996.
As the Chief Judge of Lagos, she took notably steps to curb touting in the court premises and corruption at the
registry/cash office of the high court.

As Westman murder trial looms, new judge named


BYLINE: Richard Reyes Staff writer cops@gallupindependent.com

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 1

LENGTH: 1100 words

DATELINE: GALLUP

GALLUP -- A district court judge made several decisions in the Ryan Westman homicide case, including denying a
request to remove a district attorney from prosecuting the case. The judge then recused himself and a retired judge has
been assigned to preside over the case.
Westman, 27, of Gallup, is scheduled to go on trial for first-degree murder and 10 other charges June 18 in the 11th
Judicial District Court of McKinley County.
Judge Lyndy Bennett recused himself from the case June 3, but he did not cite a reason. In his notice, Bennett advised
attorneys that the June 18 trial date is firm and would not be continued.
New Mexico Supreme Court Chief Justice Judith Nakamura then issued an order June 5 to designate retired District
Judge John Dean Jr. to preside over the case, saying "it would be in the best interests of the expeditious disposition of
the foregoing cases."
The order indicates Dean will be compensated from the Judge Pro Tempore Fund administered by the Administrative
Office of the Courts at an hourly rate of $97.41 per hour -- not to exceed $5,000. Dean may also be reimbursed for
mileage and per diem.
Before Bennett recused himself, however, he issued several orders to settle some pretrial issues, including a request to
have prosecutor Cosme Ripol, with the McKinley County District Attorney's Office, removed from the case.
Bennett ultimately denied the request.
Claims of sexist remarks
During a hearing May 7, Westman's attorney Liane Kerr made the court aware that she was planning to file the motion
to remove Ripol. She said she also filed a disciplinary complaint against Ripol.
At the time, Bennett said he would review it, but he told Kerr he would look at it with skepticism because he was not
inclined to delay the trial.
Kerr's 12-page motion accused Ripol of numerous discovery violations and inappropriate behavior, including making
sexist comments.
Before Westman went to trial on drug charges in July 2018, Ripol reportedly told Bennett that he intended to try
Westman on the easiest cases first so that Westman would realize he should accept a plea deal.
"Basically, we needed to pop his cherry," Ripol reportedly said.
On another occasion, while both sides were trying to work out pre-trial issues, Ripol reportedly characterized Kerr as
"yelling and screaming and screeching."
Page 43
As Westman murder trial looms, new judge named The Gallup Independent (New Mexico) June 10, 2019 Monday

"The lead defense attorney who was arguing the motions and was not 'screeching' is a female defense attorney," the
motion states. "She informed the court she took exception to the description as it is an incredibly sexist term."
Ripol response wand motion denial
In a response to the motion, Ripol said he would attempt to logically analyze Kerr's arguments, which he characterized
as being "often emotionally expressed."
With regard to the "pop his cherry" comment, Ripol said that if Kerr had reprimanded him at the time he made the
statement, he would have humbly apologized.
"This attorney does not want to gratuitously offend anyone," Ripol stated.
As for the "screeching" comment, Ripol said he disagreed with the assertion that it's a sexist or discriminatory term.
"Men scream. Men screech," Ripol stated. "This counsel hears defense counsel screaming and screeching: just as
defense counsel heard this counsel yell and waive his arms. Defense counsel cannot rationally instruct this counsel to
NOT hear screaming and screeching; just as this counsel cannot rationally instruct dense not to hear yelling and 'arm
waiving.'"
In his decision, Bennett said both attorneys have resorted to "hyperactive and zealous advocacy."
"When reviewing the pleadings, motions, and arguments, this Court cannot assert that the Prosecutor has totally
abandoned his defined role and ventured into vindictiveness," Bennett stated.
As for any issues concerning Ripol's professionalism, Bennett said those could be addressed by complaining to
McKinley County District Attorney Paula Pakkala and/or to the state disciplinary board.
Bomb threat testimony
Kerr's motion also addressed issues surrounding a bomb threat made on the courthouse in March on the same day that
Westman's trial had been scheduled to start.
The McKinley County Sheriff's Office indicated that the bomb threat was an apparent attempt to disrupt Westman's
trial. The unknown caller reportedly said, "This is for Bam." One of Westman's known nicknames is "Bam."
Following the bomb threat, Ripol filed a notice of intent to ask Westman about the bomb threat and other allegations if
Westman ends up testifying at trial.
"Mr. Ripol's repeated misrepresentations and constant attempts to besmirch Mr. Westman's character support a
pervasive and malicious intent to deprive Mr. Westman of a fair trial and the Defense requests that Mr. Ripol be
removed from prosecuting the case."
In his response, Ripol said he was not trying to embarrass Westman.
"Present counsel is trying to convict Ryan Westman of homicide in the first degree and various other several violent
felonies so that Ryan Westman spends the remaining years of his life in prison consistent with his duties to the people of
New Mexico and the Rules of Professional Conduct," Ripol stated. "Period."
The allegations
Westman is accused of using a double-edged ax to beat and kill Mitchell "Mark" Chavez, 57, of Gallup, in the Williams
Acres district on the western outskirts of Gallup Jan. 22, 2018. Chavez sustained brain damage in the alleged attack and
later died at a hospital in Flagstaff, Arizona, after he was taken off life support.
Westman is also accused of fleeing from multiple law enforcement agencies in a pursuit from Gamerco, an
unincorporated community just north of Gallup, to Farmington, more than 100 miles away, Jan. 25, 2018. He is accused
of attempting to hit, or threatening to hit, a few law enforcement officers with his car during the chase as well.
Conspiracy and other charges
Finally, Westman allegedly conspired with a woman over the phone while he was in jail to plan the intimidation of
Leon Perry, 35, of Gallup, who reportedly witnessed Westman kill Chavez, in an attempt to prevent Perry from
testifying in the trial.
In addition to a charge of first-degree murder, Westman is also charged with the following:

¦¦ Kidnapping in the first degree. ¦¦ Assault with intent to commit a violent felony on a peace officer. ¦¦ Tampering with

Superior Court Judge Tanya Wallace 'on to the next phase'


BYLINE: Gavin Stone, Richmond County Daily Journal, Rockingham, N.C.

SECTION: STATE AND REGIONAL NEWS

LENGTH: 620 words

June 09-- Jun. 9--ROCKINGHAM -- Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Tanya Wallace decision to retire,
announced Thursday, could've come anytime over the last several years.
She said that she's "done everything I think I can do as a Superior Court Judge" -- including swearing in her daughter,
Chevonne Wallace, as a District Court Judge in January -- and now is looking forward to the "next phase in life," which
she said will mean spending time with her granddaughter and traveling.
Wallace was appointed to her judgeship in 1987 by then-Governor Jim Martin and won seven elections on the way to a
32-and-a-half year tenure. Her retirement will begin July 31, and Governor Roy Cooper will appoint her replacement.
Looking back, Wallace said the high-point of her career was serving on the first three-judge panel of the North Carolina
Innocence Inquiry Commission that exonerated a wrongly-accused person. The panel, including Wallace, Judge Howard
Manning and Judge Calvin Murphy, unanimously found that Gregory Taylor was factually innocent of the 1991 murder
of Jacquetta Thomas in Wake County and dismissed the charges against him after he had been in prison for 17 years,
according to the UNC School of Government.
In May 2016 Wallace dismissed the charges against 54-year-old Edward Charles McInnis who was serving a life
sentence for felony rape and robbery of a Laurinburg woman in 1988. The Commission began in 2007 and has since
reviewed over 2,000 innocence claims leading to 11 exonerations.
Wallace said she was proud that she was able to go from a new judge "trying to stay above water" to being Chief
District Court Judge for eight years where she was able to continue the growth of family court in North Carolina, which
she said represented a great improvement over the way things were done previously.
"(Family court) makes cases run more quickly, they get resolved more quickly and hopefully stabilizes the life of a child
where the parents are no longer able to live together," Wallace said.
Her decision to stay on as judge was extended at the news of Judge Scott Brewer's retirement, knowing that there was a
chance Chevonne could fill his seat and that she could potentially be the one to swear her in.
"I never encouraged her to go into law," Wallace said definitively, stressing that she allowed her daughter to find her
own way in life. "It gives us a whole lot to talk about, having the same interests."
Clerk of Superior Court Vickie Daniel congratulated Wallace on her lifetime of work and said she is proud to call her a
friend.
"Congratulations to an amazing lady, judge and friend, who has been a wonderful role model for me and many others.
Some of my fondest memories working in the Judicial System have included Judge Wallace," Daniel said in a
statement. "She is a lady of integrity, compassion, and kindness, who truly cares about the well-being of others. The
North Carolina Judicial System is fortunate to have had her serving for all these years. She will be dearly missed."

Sheriff James Clemmons said he's known Wallace his entire law enforcement career and called her an "asset to the
bench."
"She's firm but fair. When you're in her courtroom she's attentive to the circumstances (of the case) and administers
justice the way that it should be," Clemmons said. "I hope that whoever receives her position is someone that is just as
diligent as she has been and does not interject personal feelings but bases their judgement on the facts."

evidence
LENGTH: 427 words

The Supreme Court Plenary announced a new system of competition and appointment of judges and judicial
officials, where one of the essential features will be the procedures will be anonymous and the application of
evidence of Knowledge.
The spokesman of the highest court, Lambert Cisterns, explained that the measures are in the direction that the
process is objective, leaving aside the discretion.
"We are aware that the system that exists in the organic Code of tribunals is very general and therefore a series of
recommendations and good practices have been taken to reduce the spaces of discretion, to concretize principles of
objectivity , equality, non-discrimination and inclusion, with the idea that merit is best favored, "said the magistrate.

Cisterns explained that the main measures need to see that "the selection procedures will be anonymous and
therefore the competitions will be ' blind ', so they will be guided according to criteria that prevent the identity of
the participants," Indicated the spokesman of the supreme.
In addition, "an objective mechanism for scoring the history of seniority, time in the judiciary, in the category, annual
qualification and courses of improvement other than that given by the Judicial Academy" will be followed.
In addition, applicants will also be tested in competitions.
"With respect to the primary rankings (judges, rapporteurs and secretaries) will be prepared by the Judicial
Academy; And in the case of the other ranks, by the administrative Corporation of the judiciary, "Cistern
explained.
On the public hearing for candidates, this will be "compulsory in all contests to holders of the primary rankings. The
score assigned in this interview may not have an incidence greater than 10%. "
"In relation to the authority responsible for conducting the contest will not be the one to make the machine,
Terna, do the one-person proposal or decide. In the competitions that are defined by the making of Quinas or
shortlists, it will be sought to assign a place in it to the one who obtained the maximum score, "described the spokesman
of the highest court of the country.
Finally, the text released says that "in the case of contests that must be resolved by an external authority to the
judiciary, the Quinas, shortlists and proposals will be sent along with all the background of the people selected
with their Individualization ".
The Minister Cisterns also reported that the plenary of the Supreme Court agreed to participate in the pre-legislative
process of the announcements made by the executive branch.

Hedinger named new Pineville judge The Herald-Dispatch (Huntington, West Virginia) June 12, 2019 Wednesday

The Herald-Dispatch (Huntington, West Virginia)

Hedinger named new Pineville judge


BYLINE: Dave Morrison, INDEPENDENT HERALD

SECTION: PIH/PI_NEWS

LENGTH: 458 words

PINEVILLE - Kevin Hedinger has worn many hats in Pineville and in Wyoming County.
The long-time educator and coach added another recently when he was appointed Municipal Judge in Pineville.
He replaces long-time Municipal Judge Thomas J. "Tommy" Daniels, who passed away Jan. 15 following a short
illness.
Daniels, too, was a long-time teacher (math) and coach in the county and was municipal judge in both Pineville and
Oceana at the time of his death.
Hedinger has been at his post for two months, since being appointed by city council.
"Mr. Daniels had done it for a long time and I think they had someone in there just helping out, a substitute judge,"
Hedinger said. "Mike Kodak, the mayor, told me they were going to take applications for it and asked if it was
something I might be interested in or if it was something I might want to try."
Turns out, while he had never considered a position as a judge would be something he could add to his resume, it has,
nonetheless, been interesting.
"I never thought I would do that, but it's not been bad," Hedinger said. "I would say it has been very interesting."
Most of the responsibilities, he said, deal with tickets and fines.
"There aren't a lot of tickets written in Pineville," Hedinger said. "I think the problem initially was getting things caught
up, because we were a few months behind. What it is, is mostly traffic violations or things like garbage in the yards they
might write tickets for."
Obviously, a municipal judge is not the same as a state or federal judge.
Hedinger said it is a mostly common sense job.
"That is exactly what it is," Hedinger said. "There are city regs (regulations) that you have to be aware of, and the fines
can be anywhere from $100 to $500 (plus the court cost of $92). "We're poor here in southern West Virginia. You really
don't want to burden the people more than you have to, but we do have rules in place for a reason."
And during the first couple of months, he has had cases where he knew the person in the court room.
"But there are also a lot of people from out of state," he said. "We get a lot of people who come in and ride the trails. I
guess they think it might be the wild west or something."
He said the position is a little bit like many of the coaching positions he has held, including long-time assistant coach to
Ron "Chief" Mayhew with the Wyoming East baseball program.
"You have to do things the right way," he said of those similarities. "And if you don't, there's going to be
consequences."

While just getting started in the post, Hedinger said he would be attending more training at Stonewall Jackson Resort in
August.
"It's not something you do for the money, that's not much, but it is, like I said, interesting," Hedinger said.

Youth symphony's ex-director faces trial on sex charge


BYLINE: Annie Knox Deseret News

By Annie Knox
Deseret News
AMERICAN FORK - The former director of a Utah County youth symphony organization has been ordered to stand
trial on a charge of sexual misconduct with a third boy years ago.
After reading a two-page statement from the alleged victim, now 30 years old, 4th District Judge Roger Griffin
determined there was enough evidence against Brent E. Taylor for the case to advance to trial.
Taylor, 70, retired in 2017 after more than four decades with the Utah Valley Youth Symphony, a prestigious orchestra
that has toured in the U.S. and abroad. He has denied the charge that he engaged in sexual conduct with a former teen
musician roughly 15 years ago.
Taylor's attorney, Cara Tangaro, argued Monday that prosecutors didn't bring forward enough proof and failed to
provide key details in charging documents, including the exact ages of her client and the teen at the time of the alleged
crime, plus further information to identify Taylor.
"I don't think they met their burden," Tangaro said. She signaled she will file a motion asking the judge to reconsider his
decision.
The exact timeline is an issue "that needs to be hammered out," the judge said.
Prosecutor Carl Hollan, however, noted that the statement alleges the abuse happened when the onetime musician was
in high school and before he got his driver's license. The written statement was not made public on Monday.
The former musician did not testify Monday because he had a work obligation, Hollan said after the hearing. Court
records show Taylor's attorney had sought to question him if he appeared.
The criminal charges followed a 2018 Deseret News report outlining sexual misconduct accusations from six men,
including three who said Taylor either sexually abused them or inappropriately touched them when they were teenage
employees of the orchestra.
In the case that advanced Monday, a different former youth musician came forward last year, two days after the Deseret
News report was published. He told police he had repeated sexual encounters with Taylor during his high school years,
2002 to 2006, when he was a member of the symphony, charging documents state. The Deseret News does not typically
identify victims of sex crimes.
Taylor, who now lives in Denver, appeared in a black suit and did not testify at the preliminary hearing held to
determine whether there is probable cause to support the charge of forcible sodomy, a first-degree felony.
Also at issue Monday was a piece of the former musician's statement that Hollan identified as a typo. It indicated the
sexual encounters happened in 2012 and 2013, instead of a decade earlier.
As the group's director, prosecutors say, Taylor occupied a position of special trust. And because the teen was not yet 18
years old, he could not consent, charges say. Investigators noted in the documents that Taylor was in his 50s at the time.

Youth symphony's ex-director faces trial on sex charge Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City) June 11, 2019 Tuesday

In a separate case, Taylor faces charges of sexually abusing two onetime neighbor boys in Sandy in the 1980s. They had
provided detailed accounts of their experiences with Taylor in the Deseret News investigation. After testimony from the
two men now in their 40s, a judge determined last month there was enough evidence for those charges to advance to
trial.
The former youth musician told investigators that Taylor invited him and other male symphony members to his Provo
home and provided them with alcohol, pornography and sex toys, charges state. That progressed to incidents of group
sexual acts involving multiple boys, prosecutors allege.
The man told investigators Taylor offered and requested oral sex from him, and he "relented" and allowed Taylor to
perform oral sex on him in 2004 or 2005.
Current leaders of the symphony have emphasized that Taylor is no longer with the group and said it does not tolerate
sexual misconduct.
His next scheduled hearing is July 1 in West Jordan.

Las Vegas attorney to replace retiring U.S. magistrate judge


BYLINE: Max Michor Las Vegas ReviewJournal

SECTION: LOCAL, LAS VEGAS

LENGTH: 127 words

A Las Vegas attorney will replace a retiring U.S. magistrate judge this summer in Nevada's U.S. District Court.
Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro announced the selection of Daniel Albregts to fill a vacancy that will be
created after Judge Bill Hoffman retires in August.
Albregts received both his bachelor's and law degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, served as an assistant
federal public defender in Las Vegas from 1990 to 1993, and has worked as a private attorney in town since 1993.
Before coming to Nevada, Albregts was a deputy public defender in Colorado.
He will begin his eight-year appointment on Aug. 5, the day after Hoffman retires.

Arnold was 'firm but fair' attorney, politician


BYLINE: Adelie Bergstrom, Duluth News Tribune, Minn.

SECTION: STATE AND REGIONAL NEWS

LENGTH: 848 words

June 10-- Jun. 10--Jerry Arnold loved his work, and he did it right up to the end.
The former Duluth attorney and county prosecutor spent decades at the intersection of law and politics, ranging from a
run for Congress to his later years as a workers' compensation judge.
His career culminated in his nomination by President Ronald Reagan to serve as the U.S. attorney for the District of
Minnesota, which he did for five years under Reagan and President George H.W. Bush.
Arnold died Thursday at his home on Schultz Lake, north of Duluth. He was 76. His son, Jason Arnold of St. Paul, said
that a chronic illness had affected his lungs for years.
"'Firm but fair,' was his motto, both professionally and personally," Jason Arnold said. "He was extremely hard-working,
(but) us family members came before everything. We were his number-one priority, as it should be."
Jerome Arnold was born May 13, 1941, and grew up on a farm near Paynesville, Minn., with nine siblings. A career in
law and politics wasn't necessarily on young Arnold's radar when he left home for the University of Minnesota's St. Paul
campus in 1959, where he studied agronomy.
After earning his degree, Arnold wanted to continue his education, but he had grown tired of the technical sciences.
"I decided to go to law school, and I loved it," Arnold told the News Tribune in 1986.
After graduating from the University of North Dakota's law school and a stint as a clerk for a federal judge in South
Dakota, Arnold moved to Duluth in 1968. He served as an assistant Duluth city attorney and a St. Louis County
prosecutor before going into private practice in 1971.
That year, Arnold married accomplished pianist and organist Judith Lindor, and they raised four boys and a girl. The
two met when Lindor was working at the Top of the Harbor, the revolving restaurant atop the Radisson Hotel in
downtown Duluth that today is known as the JJ Astor Restaurant and Lounge.
"My mom was not the type of gal to be playing as a cocktail bar pianist, but there she was as a cocktail bar pianist,"
Jason Arnold said. "Dad was a lawyer and was in there having a drink with some colleagues, and she caught his eye."
In 1974, Arnold ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House seat in Minnesota's 8th District vacated by retiring Rep. John
Blatnik.
A Republican, Arnold lost to Democratic newcomer Jim Oberstar, who would hold the seat for 36 years. But Arnold
remained respected and connected in Minnesota politics and the GOP, and he went on to manage Sen. Rudy Boschwitz's
first campaign in 1978.

Arnold was 'firm but fair' attorney, politician Duluth News-Tribune (Minnesota) June 10, 2019 Monday

Arnold was considered for the U.S. attorney post in 1981 but lost out to James Rosenbaum. When Rosenbaum was
appointed as a U.S. District Court judge in 1985, it left a vacancy, and Arnold had the support of a number of influential
state Republicans as well as President Reagan himself.
As Minnesota's U.S. attorney from 1986-91, Arnold's tenure included several high-profile cases, including a leading role
in the government's crackdown on savings and loan fraud, according to the obituary his family submitted to the News
Tribune. He also helped welcome Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and the head of the KGB on a high-profile visit to
the Twin Cities in 1990, the obituary said.
Following his tenure, Arnold spent a year in private practice before named a workers' compensation judge in Duluth in
1993.
Jason Arnold said his father was a dedicated public servant and "the most unselfish man that I ever knew," who would
do anything for the people close to him.
"Personally, Jerry loved his family," he said. "Professionally, his crowning achievement was being a damned good U.S.
attorney in Minnesota."
Jason Arnold also said his father's efforts toward mentoring up-and-coming politicians helped lead to a turnover in
Minnesota political parties and, indirectly, to current 8th District U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber's victory in 2018.
"It was a different day back then," he said. "Things were not as polarized as they are today."
Back home on Schultz Lake, Arnold loved listening to his wife play the piano and organ, Jason said. Arnold enjoyed
watching the nightly news -- politics, in particular. He listened to classical music and followed Minnesota sports. He
enjoyed spending time outside landscaping and working on other home improvement projects. He spent time hunting
and fishing with friends and family, especially his sons -- though Arnold's daughter was a "daddy's girl," too, Jason said.
He was "extremely proud" of his wife, children and grandchildren, Jason Arnold said.
"Without our dad, none of us children would even be close to where we are today in life," he said.
Arnold is survived by his wife of 47 years, Judy; his children, grandchildren, two brothers and six sisters. A funeral
service is planned for 1 p.m. Tuesday at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1108 E. Eighth St., with visitation beginning at noon.
A reception will follow at the Kitchi Gammi Club, 831 E. Superior St.

Gallenstein graduates from Harvard Law


BYLINE: Jonathan Wright

SECTION: TOP STORIES

LENGTH: 792 words

St. Patrick High School graduate Chanslor Gallenstein recently graduated from one of the most prestigious law schools
in the nation -- Harvard Law School.
Born and raised in Maysville, Gallenstein said he comes from a family of lawyers, which includes his grandfather,
great-grandfather, great uncle and both of his parents, retired Judge Robert I. Gallenstein and the late Kay Gallenstein.
In either knowing or being related to many of the law practitioners in Maysville, he said he considers the Mason
County Bar Association as a second family.
The biggest reason Gallenstein said he chose to become a lawyer was because the legal field is a career of learning and
change.
"It can seem dull occasionally, there is some monotonous things that you do in the day-to-day but ultimately you're
always kind of shaping a new body of law and work," he said. "That was intriguing to me, because it's kind of a lifetime
of learning things -- there's nothing that's totally static, there's always a possibility to change something."
Gallenstein applied to the University of Kentucky's Law School during his senior year at Transylvania University in
2015. After a year at UK, he had done well enough to transfer to Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Mass. for his
second year.
To transfer, Gallenstein had to prepare a personal statement for the admission process and gather a few letters of
recommendation. The process itself, because he had already completed one year of law school, was based upon his
grades from that year as opposed to his LSAT score.
On July 7, 2017, Gallenstein was accepted to Harvard Law School.
"I had six days to decide whether or not I wanted to uproot my life and move, I think it was 900 miles away," he said.
At first, Gallenstein was reluctant to go and leave all that he knew from home, however one person managed to
convince him that this opportunity is one he should make. That person was Gallenstein's grandfather -- the late Donald
S. Wood.
"I think he recognized the benefit of it and he called me when I had pretty much decided and told myself that I wasn't
going to leave, because I didn't want to leave my friends, and the thought of uprooting my whole life over a two or three
week period of moving 900 miles away where I didn't know anyone was kind of scary. And he called me up and said I
was being stupid if I didn't go, and so that was a nice little jar."
When he finally stepped foot at the Ivy League school, he was surprised by how similar it was from where he had
come.
"Surprisingly, it wasn't all that different," he said. "People were surprisingly normal. I think growing up, when you hear
about people going to an Ivy League school, you kind of think that the people are going to be uppity, northeastern snobs
or impossible to get along with, but what I found was most everyone was rather normal. People were kind, and they
worked hard and were all smart."

Gallenstein graduates from Harvard Law The Ledger Independent (Maysville, Kentucky) June 10, 2019 Monday

The classes themselves, unsurprisingly, were tough, engaging, and required a measure of self-discipline.
"The classes were just incredibly hard," he said. "It's a much more theoretical -- theoretical is probably the best word
for it. You basically had to teach yourself a lot of the things because the professors will give you the theory, the policy
behind it; and some will do a very good job in teaching you the law as well, but a lot of it was left to us to try to figure a
lot of things out."
One of the biggest struggles Gallenstein said he faced was being so far from homeafter having lived in Lexington for
five years, which was compounded with being among students who had already made connections in years prior.
"It's kind of like your first day of freshman orientation in college, where you don't really have anyone that you're really
forced to be around to become friends with," he said. "So we were all, all 40 of the transfer students, we kind of huddled
together and made sure we all had each other's backs."
Despite the homesickness and the challenging curriculum, Gallenstein graduated from Harvard Law School on May 30
with cum laude honors.
Currently, Gallenstein is studying for the Bar exam and will be taking the New York Bar at the end of the July.
Afterwards he will be heading to Louisville to clerk for a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit for one year.
After the year in Louisville, he then plans to return to Washington D.C. to work for a law firm there. Having graduated
from Harvard Law School, Gallenstein said the opportunities he has access to are well worth the struggle.
"It's really incredible the kinds of doors that it opens up for you," he said. "Now, I'm not going to pretend that the
people that I went to school with are going to be any better lawyers than the people I went to school with my first year."

GUESTS: Kathleen Dailey, Kacy Jones, David Carroll, Lane Borg, Carl MacPherson

LENGTH: 705 words

RACHEL MARTIN: The U.S. Constitution guarantees everyone accused of a crime the right to an attorney, even if they
can't afford it; sometimes, though, that doesn't happen. The ACLU has sued 15 states over inadequate public defense.
Oregon could face a lawsuit next, Conrad Wilson of Oregon Public Broadcasting reports.
CONRAD WILSON: Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Dailey is taking the bench in her seventh-floor
courtroom in downtown Portland.
KATHLEEN DAILEY: All right, thank you. So good morning, everyone.
CONRAD WILSON: This is treatment court - a program for nonviolent offenders with drug-related arrests. Many
defendants are meeting their attorneys for the first time.
KATHLEEN DAILEY: Just make sure you talk with your lawyer. There's only a couple of lawyers helping all of you, so
they can only do one case at a time. So this process does take patience.
CONRAD WILSON: Several dozen defendants who are out of custody sit in rows of benches along the back, waiting
their turn.
KATHLEEN DAILEY: ...In the courtroom again...
CONRAD WILSON: Sheriff's deputies bring in a half-dozen men. They're chained together, wearing blue jail scrubs.
KACY JONES: He's going to be residing in Albany, your honor.
CONRAD WILSON: Kacy Jones is an attorney for Metropolitan Public Defenders. The nonprofit provides legal
services in the Portland metro area. She has 200 clients.
KACY JONES: The people I'm representing are typically deep in their addiction, usually houseless.
CONRAD WILSON: Jones says she spends most of her week calling people, without much success, to make sure they
show up to court.
KACY JONES: As it is, my main goal is quickly assessing the cases so I know loosely what we're working with and
then trying to contact people.
CONRAD WILSON: That leaves little time for legal work. Earlier this year, a report from the nonpartisan Sixth
Amendment Center outlined major issues with Oregon's public defense system, showing, in essence, the state was
violating the U.S. Constitution. Oregon, like other states, has underfunded and overworked public defenders. David
Carroll is the executive director of the Sixth Amendment Center.
DAVID CARROLL: When we got looking at how these contracts actually function, we really found some big problems.
CONRAD WILSON: Among the problems, Carroll says, is that the state pays a flat fee per case, no matter how
complex, which essentially puts the financial interests of public defenders in conflict with the legal interests of their
clients. In February, the state accepted that critique from the Sixth Amendment Center. Starting next year, Oregon will
do away with flat-fee contracting. A bill working its way through the legislature would go even further, codifying the
Page 27
NPR Morning Edition June 10, 2019 Monday

changes in law. Over the course of several years, the state would essentially hire more than 900 public defenders and
support staff.
LANE BORG: We've had this system over 30 years where we've built in intentional opaqueness. We don't know what is
out there.
CONRAD WILSON: Lane Borg runs the state's Office of Public Defense Services. He says anybody who really
examines the system would have concerns.
LANE BORG: They would not be comfortable with the compromises people have had to make in order to make an
unsustainable system sustainable.
CONRAD WILSON: Borg's asking Oregon lawmakers for $50 million for the next two years. That money would only
begin to fix the problem, and given all the pressure on the budget, lawmakers say they may not be willing to even fund
that.
CARL MACPHERSON: And I'm concerned.
CONRAD WILSON: Carl Macpherson is the executive director of Metropolitan Public Defenders. He points out his
clients are among society's most depressed and marginalized and that the state has record revenues.
CARL MACPHERSON: We truly do not have equal access to justice in this country. We have two justice systems - one
for the wealthy and the privileged and one for those who are not.
CONRAD WILSON: The ACLU says they're watching the Oregon Legislature closely and haven't ruled out the
possibility of a lawsuit if it believes the state isn't putting enough money behind the plan.
For NPR News, I'm Conrad Wilson in Portland.

The following information was released by the Maine Democratic Party:


Collins has supported over 90% of Trump's picks for federal judge positions, including 32 nominees who have
indicated they oppose abortion rights "
Senator Susan Collins continues to face scrutiny for telling Mainers she's pro-choice while consistently voting the
opposite. Notably, Collins has supported "over 90% of Trump's picks for federal judge positions, including 32 nominees
who have indicated they oppose abortion rights" - and now Roe v. Wade faces the threat of being overturned. This
follows the trend of Collins having become a reliable vote for her party and special interests in Washington and voting
with Trump 94 percent of the time, more than any other president throughout her entire career.
As Senator Collins continues to vote against Mainers' reproductive rights, voters continue to turn on her - recent polling
showed her approval rating at a record low that earned around the clock coverage and "her net approval has fallen by 27
points over the last two years."

Collins says she's pro-choice, but she's voted to confirm dozens of judges who have signaled their opposition to abortion
rights. "
Collins "has supported over 90% of Trump's picks for federal judge positions, including 32 nominees who have
indicated they oppose abortion rights"
Collins also voted for nine of Trump's apparently anti-choice district court nominees. Kenneth Bell, who she voted to
confirm as a U.S. district judge for the Western District of North Carolina last month, wrote an op-ed in 1995 that
attacked what he called the 'indefensibility of the abortion rights position.'
"Michael Truncale, while running for Congress in 2012, boasted on his campaign website that he's a supporter of 'strong
pro-life and pro-family values.' Collins voted to confirm him as a U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of Texas
last month.
Collins also voted for 21 circuit court judge nominees whose past comments align with groups seeking to limit women's
reproductive rights, including Kurt Engelhardt as a U.S. circuit judge for the 5th Circuit. Engelhardt was a member of
the Louisiana Lawyers for Life, an advocacy group that provides legal support to the state's pro-life movement"
"Though Trump repeatedly stated that he planned to nominate justices with the intention of overturning Roe v. Wade ,

TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF JUDGE WILEY DANIEL; Congressional Record


Vol. 165, No. 92 (Extensions of Remarks - June 03, 2019)
LENGTH: 600 words

Washington: The Library of Congress, The Government of USA has issued the following Speech: HON. DIANA
DeGETTE of colorado in the house of representatives Monday, June 3, 2019 Ms. DeGETTE. Madam Speaker, I rise
today to recognize the life and achievements of Judge Wiley Daniel, the first African American judge appointed to the
U.S. District Court for Colorado, who recently passed away on Friday, May 10, 2019. Judge Daniel was born in 1946 in
Louisville, Kentucky and received his undergraduate and law degrees from Howard University in Washington, D.C. He
spent six years in private practice in Detroit before moving to Denver in 1977 where he practiced law for 24 years with
a specialty in civil litigation. In 1992, he rose to be the first--and only--African American president of the Colorado Bar
Association.
Three years later, President Bill Clinton appointed Mr. Daniel to the U.S. District Court for Colorado, becoming the first
African American federal judge in the state. Thirteen years after Judge Daniel took the bench, he became chief judge of
the court. Judge Daniel served admirably both inside and outside of the courtroom. He served as President of the
Federal Judges Association, a national organization that supports hundreds of federal judges. He also taught courses in
trial advocacy as an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado Law School and the University of Denver Sturm
College of Law, where he mentored students. Additionally, from 1998 to 2003, Judge Daniel was a Trustee of the
American Inns of Court Foundation, an organization which advocates for professionalism, ethics, civility and excellence
throughout the legal profession. Until his final days, Judge Daniel was active in his church--Park Hill United Methodist
in north Denver--where he served as a Deacon, sang in the choir and mentored young members. Judge Daniel believed
that racial and gender diversity in the judiciary is important. Accordingly, he was active in the Delta Eta Boule
fraternity, the nation's first African American professional organization. In fact, one of Daniel's passions was the
fraternity's scholarship program, which helps young, bright African American students in the metro Denver area attend
college. Judge Daniel retired in 2013 but continued to hear cases and guide younger lawyers. Not surprisingly, Judge
Daniel's distinguished legal career and dedication to the community has been recognized many times with numerous
awards and accolades. In 2006, Judge Daniel was honored with the American Inns of Court Foundation Professionalism
Award for the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. In 2012, he was inducted to the Blacks in Colorado Hall of Fame due to
his pioneering professional achievements. In 2013, Judge Daniel was awarded the King Trimble Lifetime Achievement
Award by the Sam Cary Bar Association. In 2015, Judge Daniel was selected as the recipient of the Lifetime
Achievement Award by the Center for Legal Inclusiveness in recognition of his lifelong commitment to diversity and
inclusiveness within the legal profession. Finally, in 2018, the National Black Prosecutors Association presented Daniel
with the Trailblazer Award. On May 10, 2019, at the age of 72, Judge Wiley Daniel passed away. He was one of the
trailblazing Coloradoans whose hands have shaped the United States into the great nation it is today. He was principled,
pragmatic, well-respected and beloved. That is why his legacy will live on for many decades to come. My heartfelt
condolences go out to his family, the Denver law community and all Coloradoans who mourn this terrible loss.

participating in a scheme to defraud the IRS by filing false tax returns in the names of individuals incarcerated by the

ICYMI: Collins' Approval Down "Significantly" After Voting for 32 Anti-Choice


Judges
LENGTH: 397 words

Augusta: Democratic Party of Maine has issued the following press release: Senator Susan Collins continues to face
scrutiny for telling Mainers she's pro-choice while consistently voting the opposite. Notably, Collins has supported
"over 90% of Trump's picks for federal judge positions, including 32 nominees who have indicated they oppose
abortion rights" - and now Roe v. Wade faces the threat of being overturned. This follows the trend of Collins having
become a reliable vote for her party and special interests in Washington and voting with Trump 94 percent of the time,
more than any other president throughout her entire career.
As Senator Collins continues to vote against Mainers' reproductive rights, voters continue to turn on her - recent polling
showed her approval rating at a record low that earned around the clock coverage and "her net approval has fallen by 27
points over the last two years." IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: HuffPost: Senator Susan Collins Keeps Voting For
Donald Trump's Anti-Abortion Judges Hayley Miller Collins "says she's pro-choice, but she's voted to confirm
dozens of judges who have signaled their opposition to abortion rights." Collins "has supported over 90% of Trump's
picks for federal judge positions, including 32 nominees who have indicated they oppose abortion rights" Collins
also voted for nine of Trump's apparently anti-choice district court nominees. Kenneth Bell, who she voted to confirm as
a U.S. district judge for the Western District of North Carolina last month, wrote an op-ed in 1995 that attacked what he
called the 'indefensibility of the abortion rights position.' "Michael Truncale, while running for Congress in 2012,
boasted on his campaign website that he's a supporter of 'strong pro-life and pro-family values.' Collins voted to confirm
him as a U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of Texas last month. Collins also voted for 21 circuit court
judge nominees whose past comments align with groups seeking to limit women's reproductive rights, including Kurt
Engelhardt as a U.S. circuit judge for the 5th Circuit. Engelhardt was a member of the Louisiana Lawyers for Life, an
advocacy group that provides legal support to the state's pro-life movement" In case of any query regarding this article

After Banker Calk Pled Not Guilty Inner City Press Puts Fraud Q to OCC Where Banker Otting Delays
By Matthew Russell Lee, Video, Alamy photos
SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 24 - Steven M. Calk of FDIC-regulated Federal Savings Bank was presented and
arraigned on May 23 for financial institution bribery for corruptly using his position with FSB to issue $16 million in
high-risk loans to Paul Manafort in a bid to obtain a senior position with the Trump administration, namely Secretary of
the Army.
Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York accepted the
government's proposal of $5 million bond with no co-signer (although that is usually required for moral suasion) and
travel allowed throughout the United States (though more defendants are usually confined to the Soutern and Eastern
District of NY and one other district). Money talks.
Afterward in front of the SDNY courthouse Inner City Press asked Calk's lawyers Daniel Stein and Jeremy Margoles
about Manafort saying he had misstated his financial situation to get the FSB loans. When did Calk know? They did not
answer. Video here, Facebook video here. Inner City Press' Alamy photos here.
On May 23, still from the SDNY courthouse covering other cases including one involving the death penalty, Inner City
Press reported finding no U.S. Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for "Federal Savings Bank." But there's more.
The Federal Savings Bank's website, while providing a generic link to the FDIC, and a statement "Member FDIC," has
no link for the U.S. Community Reinvestment Act. (Nor does it mention the indictment of Stephen Calk, simply listing
his brother John Calk now as CEO and Vice Chairman. Who is the chairman?)
It lists a loan production office on Avenue J in Brooklyn, and two deposit taking braches in Illinois. Did it see some
exemption from the CRA and other consumer protection laws? From fair lending laws?
Earlier on the morning of May 24 Inner City Press asked the FDIC, "Having covered yesterday's arraignment of the
Chairman of The Federal Savings Bank in the SDNY courthouse, including the FDIC's involvement, I checked the
bank's website and found "Member FDIC" but no mention of the Community Reinvestment Act."
The FDIC's spokesperson David Barr, to his credit, responded quickly, writing to Inner City Press: "The Federal
Savings Bank, Chicago, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. They would be responsible for
CRA and regulatory oversight. You should contact the OCC for more information."
Now the OCC under Comptroller Joseph Otting has done everything possible to block the release of information,
denying FOIA fees waivers and expedited treatment, refusing comments. But for now online the OCC has said this
about The Federal Savings Bank: "While TFSB originated a substantial majority of its loans outside of its AAs; the
bank's business strategy is to operate as a mortgage banking entity with a nationwide presence and market place. Taking

the bank's business strategy into consideration the bank's performance under this lending criterion is deemed
reasonable." Reasonable? Bribery, too, seems to have been part of its business strategy, right under the nose of the OCC
of Otting.
Before 2 pm on May 24 Inner City Press in writing asked Otting's OCC: "This is a Press question for the OCC, from
Inner City Press... Please confirm that The Federal Savings Bank is subject to HMDA, and/or if it is below a threshold,
as I can find no data in its name on FFIEC.gov. Also, please today provide as an OCC response to the Press this OCC-
regulated bank's CRA public file and other information in the OCC's possession concerning the bank's CRA and fair
lending performance. Is it normal for a bank not to mention these things on its website, nor to provide any link to its
actual regulator, the OCC, but only to the FDIC? Please explain what steps the OCC is taking beyond Stephen Calk
no longer being the CEO. What about his brother?"
More than three hours later, even to the questions at the end, the OCC had only provided this: "We are reviewing your
questions, but we may not be able to respond by your deadline. Regards, Stephanie Stephanie Collins Manager,
Media Relations Public Affairs Operations Office of the Comptroller of the Currency." This is the same OCC which
has delayed FOR MONTHS providing basic information about a merger it has now already rubber stamped. We'll have
more on this.
Stephen Calk was quoted, at least in 2012, opposing regulation: "As Mr. Stephen Calk writes in the September 7, 2012
edition of Origination News: "Basel III is designed to level the playing field among major banking institutions that
operate internationally. Force-feeding these same rules to community banks in the United States is unnecessary and in
fact counter-productive, particularly in the current economic environment." Basel III is one thing. But no Community
Reinvestment Act?
The Federal Savings Bank lists locations - and bankers - in Arizona - Scottsdale California - Irvine Colorado - Fort
Collins Delaware - Selbyville Florida - Sarasota Illinois - Chicago Illinois - Lake Forest Illinois - Oak Brook Illinois -
Park Ridge Indiana - Bloomington Indiana - Indianapolis Kansas - Overland Park Louisiana - Laplace Maryland -
Annapolis Maryland - Timonium CD Massachusetts - Lawrence New Jersey - Hackensack New Jersey - Lakewood
New York - Brooklyn New York - Melville New York - New York New York - Queens North Carolina - Raleigh Ohio -
Columbus Rhode Island - South Kingstown Tennessee - Nashville Virginia - Alexandria Virginia - Fredericksburg
Virginia - Newport News Virginia - Richmond Virginia - Vienna Virginia - Warrenton... We'll have more on this.
In the indictment press release, FDIC OIG Special Agent-in-Charge Patricia Tarasca said, "Today's indictment charges
Stephen Calk with misusing his position as Chairman and CEO of a bank for his own personal gain. The FDIC Office
of Inspector General remains committed to investigating cases where bank officials cause multimillion-dollar losses to a
financial institution and undermine its integrity." (The FDIC stands to be the lead regulator of BB&T whose money
laundering enforcement action was just terminated by the Federal Reserve to facilitate merger with Suntrust, click here
for that and Inner City Press' FOIA request and appeal.)
The indictment was unsealed the day after President Donald J. Trump lost his bid to stay the House of Representatives'
subpoenas to two other banks, Capital One and Deutsche Bank. After the May 22 ruling in Trump v. Deutsche Bank by
SDNY Judge Edgardo Ramos, Trump lawyer Patrick Strawbridge headed to the elevators in the windowless lobby
outside the courtroom.
He was disinclined to comment and even take questions from the press. When reporters got on the elevator with him, he
got off, saying sacrastically but not bitterly, Much as I'd like to be asked questions in the elevator...
Downstairs in front of the Thurgood Marshall courthouse there were demonstrators will a long Impeach Trump banner
and the small black Congress Has A Right To Know signs, three of which had been quickly raised in the courtroom, and
just as quickly taken down when Judge Ramos requested it.
The SDNY Court Security Officers spoke to the sign holders but did not eject them, during the 10 minute recess Judge
Ramos took to put the finishing touches on his 25-page decision.
TV crews from CNN and Univision were set up across the street, and a gaggle of photographers set up on the sidewalk
to wait for Strawbridge and the House of Representatives' lawyer Douglas Letter. As time passed others passing the
courthouse, and coming out of it, stopped to ask as so often happens, Who are you waiting for?

While few had heard of Strawbridge and the House lawyer named Letter, the mention of Trump drew a range of
reactions. The sight of long lens cameras -- Inner City Press had this day retrieved it, from the seemingly overflow Press
Room in the basement of 40 Foley Square -- attracted others with cases in the SDNY.
Accompanied by a trio of children in wheelchairs on a day when the disabled entrance on Pearl Street to the Thurgood
Marshall courthouse was closed were lawyers in Abrams et al v. Carranza, one in a series of Federal lawsuits against
campaigning NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio's Education Chancellor RIchard Carranza. They had a flier and expressed hope
that SDNY Judge Alison Nathan would, as indicted, issue a ruling in their case within the week.
Other litigatants were less media savvy or directed. Those in a criminal trial before Judge Vernon Broderick admitted
the case made it hard for even them to stay awake -- Inner City Press has tried several times -- but noted that the U.S.
Attorney's office promotes the prosecution each morning in an e-mail.
The plaintiff side in an employment discrimination trial in front of Judge Valerie Caproni came out (the defense may
have been less willing to approach the press), then Judge Broderick himself, down to earth as ever. It was growing late.
To put its camera back in the 40 Foley press room, Inner City Press climbed the stairs only to be told, We close at five.
Explaining that there is a Press Room next to the cafeteria and that the Trump case had done later was at first to no
avail. Finally a supervisor was called who did not acknowledge any right to enter, but said he would allow it this one
time. We may have more on this: even in the small strokes, press access rights are important, particularly in a
courthouse.

Earlier, before issuing his ruling Judge Edgardo Ramos had asked the lawyers for the two banks that got the subpoenas,
Deutsche Bank and Capital One, if they wanted to speak. They did not. This even as House counsel Strawbridge
detailed Deutsche Bank's long history with money laundering (and theft during the Holocaust, which didn't come up).
Capital One is a rough, too, on predatory auto lending and the Community Reinvestment Act. But the banks lay low.
Now under Judge Ramos' 25-page ruling, the banks become required to respond to the subpoenas in seven days, on May
29. That's the time during which the House has agreed not to enforce the subpoena, and the time during which Trump's
lawyers seem certain to file an appeal and ask again for a stay from the Second Circuit Count of Appeals higher up, in
both senses, in 40 Foley Square.
Earlier still in the May in the SDNY, Congressman Christopher Collins (R-NY) waived his right to be present for a May
3 hearing in the criminal insider trading case against him held past 5 pm in the SDNY courtroom of Judge Broderick.
On May 10, Judge Broderick started on l'affaire Collins at 2 pm, after a case against BuzzFeed (Inner City Press
coverage here). Early in the proceeding, before two shackled inmates were led in leading to a brief suspension of the
white shoe SEC Congressman matter, Broderick made a joke about Donald Trump and evasive legal moves. I'm not
going there, said one of the participants in Collins, who was an early endorser of Trump. Broderick said, "I should have
either - but it is what it is."
Three hours later, during which Inner City Press in full disclosure went one story down in the courthouse to cover a
Fatico hearing about threats in the MCC, Judge Broderick was setting the time for Collins' lawyers to make motions. He
arrived on four weeks after he rules on discovery, with the SEC to provide whatever he directs to the defense one week
after the ruling. I'm not saying you're going to get anything, Judge Broderick said. Collins' lead lawyer said he is a
optimist. More on Patreon; watch this site.
Collins' team of lawyers have made a slew of suggestions to Judge Broderick on what discovery to seek from the U.S.
Attorney's office, from communications with the SEC to information about real estate, Cameron Collins and Lauren
Zarsky and their sales of Immunotherapeutics stock after MIS416, aimed at secondary multiple sclerosis, failed the
Drug Trial and Rep Collins made his calls from the White House Congressional picnic.
On May 3 Judge Broderick was urging wide disclosure by the government, whether characterized as 3500 material or
under Brady or Giglio. The notes to be produced, he said, didn't have to been entirely contemporaneous. He had a series
of questions for the U.S. Attorney which he did not get through as it approached 6 p.m. and his courtroom deputy had
gone for the day.
Collins' lead lawyer from BakerHostetler, Jonathan R. Barr, directed Broderick to a decision by SDNY Judge Jed
Rakoff during the Gumpta case, and Broderick said that he would read it. He confessed he had himself looked up
Page 54

May 24, 2019 Friday

applicable cases on Westlaw, adding that he might have missed some cases. This case is USA v. Collins, et al., 18-cr-
00567 (VSB). More on Patreon, here.
Judge Broderick told Collins' lawyers to expect to come back in a week's time on Friday, May 10. One of them said he
would only be returning to the United States that morning; another said that he then would be leaving for the same place
his colleague had been: Argentina.
Thus is big money, and big politics, law done in the SDNY.
One story down and just two days before but as if in another universe on May 1 defendant Jesus Lopez walked into the
SDNY courtroom of Judge Valerie E. Caproni to be sentenced on May 1 for driving 10 kilograms of cocaine from
California to New York.
He was wearing a suit; he had been allowed out on bond while awaiting sentencing due to his mother having Stage Four
cancer. Before the sentencing he uploaded a video directed at Judge Caproni but still online as of this writing on Vimeo,
here.
The courtroom was full, with two U.S. Marshals in the back row, and the two front rows, Inner City Press was later
informed by a participant in the proceeding, filled by judges from China. Lopez' lawyer Jeff Greco argued in his
sentencing submission for time served, essentially one month.
But Judge Caproni, after asking Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Rhen why the government wasn't seeking forfeiture of
the truck Lopez used to drive the drugs - "there's a lot of equity in there," she said -- looked sternly at Lopez.
Judge Caproni was not impressed by Lopez' statement that he took drugs because he was bored, that boredom was one
of his triggers. She said she did not believe that he had only agreed to drive the drugs in order to feed his own habit.
First she sentenced him to 60 month, five years, in prison.
Then as the U.S. Marshals rustled in the row behind Inner City Press, she said she would be remanding Lopex into
custody today. Right now. Her courtroom deputy handed the Marshals an order to that effect.
Defense attorney Greco said that Lopez' mother could die at any time, and that the Bureau of Prisons would be unlikely
to let him out to attend her funeral. Judge Caproni said there was no way to know when his mother would die, and that
she had allowed him to remain out on bond pending sentencing so he could spent time with her. The Chinese judges sat
as Jesus Lopez took his wallet out of his pants and put his hands out for shackling.
A well known courtroom artist in the SDNY has told Inner City Press about the time she managed to sketch a similar
remand of a higher profile defendant, Bernie Madoff. But there was no artist present for the remand of Jesus Lopez, and
cameras are not allowed - only this article. The case is U.S. v. Lopez, part of the larger conspiracy prosecution U.S. v.
Soto et al., 18-cr-00282 (Caproni).
Notably one floor above in 40 Foley Square, a man who pled guilty to stealing $7 million in Medicare and Medicaid
fraud has had his sentencing delayed for a year already, and perhaps another year, so that his wife can finish a medical
residency program. That case is U.S v. Javed, 16-cr-00601-VSB. Unlike the unpublicized case of Jesus Lopez, the
Office of the US Attorney for the SDNY announced the Javed sentencing to the press (but not its subsequent deferral).

Background: Even in Judge Caproni's courtroom, there are more positive or lenient stories. When Todd Howe, who pled
guilty in the New York State corruption case(s), came up for sentencing on April 5, Judge Caproni was told that Howe is
now working more than 12 hours a day in Idaho, on ski slopes and now a golf course. After his guilty plea he had been
remanded to the Metropolitan Correctional Center when he disputed to Capital One some credit card charges and the
government believed it to be another attempted fraud.
With him out of MCC for seven months, Judge Caproni said it may have just been a mistake. She put off sentencing
Howe, instead putting him on five years probation. If he "stays clean" during that time, it all goes away. If not, he faces
serious time.
In the elevator down after Howe's lawyer, in what she called her last criminal sentencing, said Howe still respects
government service after his lobbying career meltdown, Inner City Press asked Howe what he thought for example of

congestion pricing. He laughed and said it is not needed in Idaho. Meanwhile a shackled prisoner Jones was led into
Judge Caproni's now empty courtroom to plead guilty to selling crack in The Bronx and hiding a gun after a 1999 felony
conviction. That sentencing is set for August 1. Inner City Press and @SDNYLIVE will be there.

After Calk Pled Not Guilty Inner City Press Asked Of Fraud Finding No CRA On Bank Website
By Matthew Russell Lee, Video, Alamy photos
SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 24 - Steven M. Calk of FDIC-regulated Federal Savings Bank was presented and
arraigned on May 23 for financial institution bribery for corruptly using his position with FSB to issue $16 million in
high-risk loans to Paul Manafort in a bid to obtain a senior position with the Trump administration, namely Secretary of
the Army.
Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York accepted the
government's proposal of $5 million bond with no co-signer (although that is usually required for moral suasion) and
travel allowed throughout the United States (though more defendants are usually confined to the Soutern and Eastern
District of NY and one other district). Money talks.
Afterward in front of the SDNY courthouse Inner City Press asked Calk's lawyers Daniel Stein and Jeremy Margoles
about Manafort saying he had misstated his financial situation to get the FSB loans. When did Calk know? They did not
answer. Video here, Facebook video here. Inner City Press' Alamy photos here.
On May 23, still from the SDNY courthouse covering other cases including one involving the death penalty, Inner City
Press reported finding no U.S. Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for "Federal Savings Bank." But there's more.
The Federal Savings Bank's website, while providing a generic link to the FDIC, and a statement "Member FDIC," has
no link for the U.S. Community Reinvestment Act. (Nor does it mention the indictment of Stephen Calk, simply listing
his brother John Calk now as CEO and Vice Chairman. Who is the chairman?)
It lists a loan production office on Avenue J in Brooklyn, and two deposit taking braches in Illinois. Did it see some
exemption from the CRA and other consumer protection laws? From fair lending laws? The FDIC website provides no
insight.
Stephen Calk was quoted, at least in 2012, opposing regulation: "As Mr. Stephen Calk writes in the September 7, 2012
edition of Origination News: "Basel III is designed to level the playing field among major banking institutions that
operate internationally. Force-feeding these same rules to community banks in the United States is unnecessary and in
fact counter-productive, particularly in the current economic environment." Basel III is one thing. But no Community
Reinvestment Act?
The Federal Savings Bank lists locations - and bankers - in Arizona - Scottsdale California - Irvine Colorado - Fort
Collins Delaware - Selbyville Florida - Sarasota Illinois - Chicago Illinois - Lake Forest Illinois - Oak Brook Illinois -

Virginia - Newport News Virginia - Richmond Virginia - Vienna Virginia - Warrenton... We'll have more on this.
In the indictment press release, FDIC OIG Special Agent-in-Charge Patricia Tarasca said, "Today's indictment charges
Stephen Calk with misusing his position as Chairman and CEO of a bank for his own personal gain. The FDIC Office
of Inspector General remains committed to investigating cases where bank officials cause multimillion-dollar losses to a
financial institution and undermine its integrity." (The FDIC stands to be the lead regulator of BB&T whose money
laundering enforcement action was just terminated by the Federal Reserve to facilitate merger with Suntrust, click here
for that and Inner City Press' FOIA request and appeal.)
The indictment was unsealed the day after President Donald J. Trump lost his bid to stay the House of Representatives'
subpoenas to two other banks, Capital One and Deutsche Bank. After the May 22 ruling in Trump v. Deutsche Bank by
SDNY Judge Edgardo Ramos, Trump lawyer Patrick Strawbridge headed to the elevators in the windowless lobby
outside the courtroom.
He was disinclined to comment and even take questions from the press. When reporters got on the elevator with him, he
got off, saying sacrastically but not bitterly, Much as I'd like to be asked questions in the elevator...
Downstairs in front of the Thurgood Marshall courthouse there were demonstrators will a long Impeach Trump banner
and the small black Congress Has A Right To Know signs, three of which had been quickly raised in the courtroom, and
just as quickly taken down when Judge Ramos requested it.
The SDNY Court Security Officers spoke to the sign holders but did not eject them, during the 10 minute recess Judge
Ramos took to put the finishing touches on his 25-page decision.
TV crews from CNN and Univision were set up across the street, and a gaggle of photographers set up on the sidewalk
to wait for Strawbridge and the House of Representatives' lawyer Douglas Letter. As time passed others passing the
courthouse, and coming out of it, stopped to ask as so often happens, Who are you waiting for?
While few had heard of Strawbridge and the House lawyer named Letter, the mention of Trump drew a range of
reactions. The sight of long lens cameras -- Inner City Press had this day retrieved it, from the seemingly overflow Press
Room in the basement of 40 Foley Square -- attracted others with cases in the SDNY.
Accompanied by a trio of children in wheelchairs on a day when the disabled entrance on Pearl Street to the Thurgood
Marshall courthouse was closed were lawyers in Abrams et al v. Carranza, one in a series of Federal lawsuits against
campaigning NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio's Education Chancellor RIchard Carranza. They had a flier and expressed hope
that SDNY Judge Alison Nathan would, as indicted, issue a ruling in their case within the week.
Other litigatants were less media savvy or directed. Those in a criminal trial before Judge Vernon Broderick admitted
the case made it hard for even them to stay awake -- Inner City Press has tried several times -- but noted that the U.S.
Attorney's office promotes the prosecution each morning in an e-mail.
The plaintiff side in an employment discrimination trial in front of Judge Valerie Caproni came out (the defense may
have been less willing to approach the press), then Judge Broderick himself, down to earth as ever. It was growing late.
To put its camera back in the 40 Foley press room, Inner City Press climbed the stairs only to be told, We close at five.
Explaining that there is a Press Room next to the cafeteria and that the Trump case had done later was at first to no
avail. Finally a supervisor was called who did not acknowledge any right to enter, but said he would allow it this one
time. We may have more on this: even in the small strokes, press access rights are important, particularly in a
courthouse.

Earlier, before issuing his ruling Judge Edgardo Ramos had asked the lawyers for the two banks that got the subpoenas,
Deutsche Bank and Capital One, if they wanted to speak. They did not. This even as House counsel Strawbridge
detailed Deutsche Bank's long history with money laundering (and theft during the Holocaust, which didn't come up).
Capital One is a rough, too, on predatory auto lending and the Community Reinvestment Act. But the banks lay low.
Now under Judge Ramos' 25-page ruling, the banks become required to respond to the subpoenas in seven days, on May
29. That's the time during which the House has agreed not to enforce the subpoena, and the time during which Trump's
lawyers seem certain to file an appeal and ask again for a stay from the Second Circuit Count of Appeals higher up, in
both senses, in 40 Foley Square.

Earlier still in the May in the SDNY, Congressman Christopher Collins (R-NY) waived his right to be present for a May
3 hearing in the criminal insider trading case against him held past 5 pm in the SDNY courtroom of Judge Broderick.
On May 10, Judge Broderick started on l'affaire Collins at 2 pm, after a case against BuzzFeed (Inner City Press
coverage here). Early in the proceeding, before two shackled inmates were led in leading to a brief suspension of the
white shoe SEC Congressman matter, Broderick made a joke about Donald Trump and evasive legal moves. I'm not
going there, said one of the participants in Collins, who was an early endorser of Trump. Broderick said, "I should have
either - but it is what it is."
Three hours later, during which Inner City Press in full disclosure went one story down in the courthouse to cover a
Fatico hearing about threats in the MCC, Judge Broderick was setting the time for Collins' lawyers to make motions. He
arrived on four weeks after he rules on discovery, with the SEC to provide whatever he directs to the defense one week
after the ruling. I'm not saying you're going to get anything, Judge Broderick said. Collins' lead lawyer said he is a
optimist. More on Patreon; watch this site.
Collins' team of lawyers have made a slew of suggestions to Judge Broderick on what discovery to seek from the U.S.
Attorney's office, from communications with the SEC to information about real estate, Cameron Collins and Lauren
Zarsky and their sales of Immunotherapeutics stock after MIS416, aimed at secondary multiple sclerosis, failed the
Drug Trial and Rep Collins made his calls from the White House Congressional picnic.
On May 3 Judge Broderick was urging wide disclosure by the government, whether characterized as 3500 material or
under Brady or Giglio. The notes to be produced, he said, didn't have to been entirely contemporaneous. He had a series
of questions for the U.S. Attorney which he did not get through as it approached 6 p.m. and his courtroom deputy had
gone for the day.
Collins' lead lawyer from BakerHostetler, Jonathan R. Barr, directed Broderick to a decision by SDNY Judge Jed
Rakoff during the Gumpta case, and Broderick said that he would read it. He confessed he had himself looked up
applicable cases on Westlaw, adding that he might have missed some cases. This case is USA v. Collins, et al., 18-cr-
00567 (VSB). More on Patreon, here.
Judge Broderick told Collins' lawyers to expect to come back in a week's time on Friday, May 10. One of them said he
would only be returning to the United States that morning; another said that he then would be leaving for the same place
his colleague had been: Argentina.
Thus is big money, and big politics, law done in the SDNY.
One story down and just two days before but as if in another universe on May 1 defendant Jesus Lopez walked into the
SDNY courtroom of Judge Valerie E. Caproni to be sentenced on May 1 for driving 10 kilograms of cocaine from
California to New York.
He was wearing a suit; he had been allowed out on bond while awaiting sentencing due to his mother having Stage Four
cancer. Before the sentencing he uploaded a video directed at Judge Caproni but still online as of this writing on Vimeo,
here.
The courtroom was full, with two U.S. Marshals in the back row, and the two front rows, Inner City Press was later
informed by a participant in the proceeding, filled by judges from China. Lopez' lawyer Jeff Greco argued in his
sentencing submission for time served, essentially one month.
But Judge Caproni, after asking Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Rhen why the government wasn't seeking forfeiture of
the truck Lopez used to drive the drugs - "there's a lot of equity in there," she said -- looked sternly at Lopez.
Judge Caproni was not impressed by Lopez' statement that he took drugs because he was bored, that boredom was one
of his triggers. She said she did not believe that he had only agreed to drive the drugs in order to feed his own habit.
First she sentenced him to 60 month, five years, in prison.
Then as the U.S. Marshals rustled in the row behind Inner City Press, she said she would be remanding Lopex into
custody today. Right now. Her courtroom deputy handed the Marshals an order to that effect.
Defense attorney Greco said that Lopez' mother could die at any time, and that the Bureau of Prisons would be unlikely
to let him out to attend her funeral. Judge Caproni said there was no way to know when his mother would die, and that
she had allowed him to remain out on bond pending sentencing so he could spent time with her. The Chinese judges sat
as Jesus Lopez took his wallet out of his pants and put his hands out for shackling.

A well known courtroom artist in the SDNY has told Inner City Press about the time she managed to sketch a similar
remand of a higher profile defendant, Bernie Madoff. But there was no artist present for the remand of Jesus Lopez, and
cameras are not allowed - only this article. The case is U.S. v. Lopez, part of the larger conspiracy prosecution U.S. v.
Soto et al., 18-cr-00282 (Caproni).
Notably one floor above in 40 Foley Square, a man who pled guilty to stealing $7 million in Medicare and Medicaid
fraud has had his sentencing delayed for a year already, and perhaps another year, so that his wife can finish a medical
residency program. That case is U.S v. Javed, 16-cr-00601-VSB. Unlike the unpublicized case of Jesus Lopez, the
Office of the US Attorney for the SDNY announced the Javed sentencing to the press (but not its subsequent deferral).

Arnold was 'firm but fair' attorney, politician


BYLINE: Adelie Bergstrom, Duluth News Tribune, Minn.

SECTION: STATE AND REGIONAL NEWS

LENGTH: 848 words

June 10-- Jun. 10--Jerry Arnold loved his work, and he did it right up to the end.
The former Duluth attorney and county prosecutor spent decades at the intersection of law and politics, ranging from a
run for Congress to his later years as a workers' compensation judge.
His career culminated in his nomination by President Ronald Reagan to serve as the U.S. attorney for the District of
Minnesota, which he did for five years under Reagan and President George H.W. Bush.
Arnold died Thursday at his home on Schultz Lake, north of Duluth. He was 76. His son, Jason Arnold of St. Paul, said
that a chronic illness had affected his lungs for years.
"'Firm but fair,' was his motto, both professionally and personally," Jason Arnold said. "He was extremely hard-working,
(but) us family members came before everything. We were his number-one priority, as it should be."
Jerome Arnold was born May 13, 1941, and grew up on a farm near Paynesville, Minn., with nine siblings. A career in
law and politics wasn't necessarily on young Arnold's radar when he left home for the University of Minnesota's St. Paul
campus in 1959, where he studied agronomy.
After earning his degree, Arnold wanted to continue his education, but he had grown tired of the technical sciences.
"I decided to go to law school, and I loved it," Arnold told the News Tribune in 1986.
After graduating from the University of North Dakota's law school and a stint as a clerk for a federal judge in South
Dakota, Arnold moved to Duluth in 1968. He served as an assistant Duluth city attorney and a St. Louis County
prosecutor before going into private practice in 1971.
That year, Arnold married accomplished pianist and organist Judith Lindor, and they raised four boys and a girl. The
two met when Lindor was working at the Top of the Harbor, the revolving restaurant atop the Radisson Hotel in
downtown Duluth that today is known as the JJ Astor Restaurant and Lounge.
"My mom was not the type of gal to be playing as a cocktail bar pianist, but there she was as a cocktail bar pianist,"
Jason Arnold said. "Dad was a lawyer and was in there having a drink with some colleagues, and she caught his eye."
In 1974, Arnold ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House seat in Minnesota's 8th District vacated by retiring Rep. John
Blatnik.
A Republican, Arnold lost to Democratic newcomer Jim Oberstar, who would hold the seat for 36 years. But Arnold
remained respected and connected in Minnesota politics and the GOP, and he went on to manage Sen. Rudy Boschwitz's
first campaign in 1978.
Page 5
Arnold was 'firm but fair' attorney, politician Duluth News-Tribune (Minnesota) June 10, 2019 Monday

Arnold was considered for the U.S. attorney post in 1981 but lost out to James Rosenbaum. When Rosenbaum was
appointed as a U.S. District Court judge in 1985, it left a vacancy, and Arnold had the support of a number of influential
state Republicans as well as President Reagan himself.
As Minnesota's U.S. attorney from 1986-91, Arnold's tenure included several high-profile cases, including a leading role
in the government's crackdown on savings and loan fraud, according to the obituary his family submitted to the News
Tribune. He also helped welcome Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and the head of the KGB on a high-profile visit to
the Twin Cities in 1990, the obituary said.
Following his tenure, Arnold spent a year in private practice before named a workers' compensation judge in Duluth in
1993.
Jason Arnold said his father was a dedicated public servant and "the most unselfish man that I ever knew," who would
do anything for the people close to him.
"Personally, Jerry loved his family," he said. "Professionally, his crowning achievement was being a damned good U.S.
attorney in Minnesota."
Jason Arnold also said his father's efforts toward mentoring up-and-coming politicians helped lead to a turnover in
Minnesota political parties and, indirectly, to current 8th District U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber's victory in 2018.
"It was a different day back then," he said. "Things were not as polarized as they are today."
Back home on Schultz Lake, Arnold loved listening to his wife play the piano and organ, Jason said. Arnold enjoyed
watching the nightly news -- politics, in particular. He listened to classical music and followed Minnesota sports. He
enjoyed spending time outside landscaping and working on other home improvement projects. He spent time hunting
and fishing with friends and family, especially his sons -- though Arnold's daughter was a "daddy's girl," too, Jason said.
He was "extremely proud" of his wife, children and grandchildren, Jason Arnold said.
"Without our dad, none of us children would even be close to where we are today in life," he said.
Arnold is survived by his wife of 47 years, Judy; his children, grandchildren, two brothers and six sisters. A funeral
service is planned for 1 p.m. Tuesday at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1108 E. Eighth St., with visitation beginning at noon.
A reception will follow at the Kitchi Gammi Club, 831 E. Superior St.

Mar-a-Lago intruder deemed mentally competent and allowed to represent


herself at trial
BYLINE: Sarah Blaskey; Miami Herald

SECTION: florida

LENGTH: 1134 words

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Chinese woman accused of trespassing at President Donald Trump's private
Palm Beach club while carrying a trove of electronics, including a thumb-drive initially suspected of containing
malware, would be allowed to represent herself after her attorneys found no evidence of mental incompetency.
U.S. District Judge Roy Altman ruled that Yujing Zhang, 33, will be allowed to to represent herself as she faces two
federal charges. Altman also appointed public defenders as "stand-by lawyers" so that if she has any questions or if she
changes her mind they can come back in and advise her.
A tentative next court appearance is scheduled for August 13, and the trial could begin as early as August 18.
At Tuesday's hearing in the U.S. Southern District Court in Fort Lauderdale -- the first conducted solely in English, per
Zhang's request -- Zhang's appointed public defender, Kristy Militello, called her client's decision to represent herself
"ill-advised" but rational. Militello said she has spoken with Zhang at length since the last hearing, during which Zhang
maintained she wanted to serve as her own advocate.
"She's doing so rationally and it is her own decision to do so," Militello said to the judge.
new Screen Shot 2019-04-08 at 5.03.18 PM (1_fitted.jpegYujing Zhang
Militello also told the court that she spoke with Zhang's father, who said Zhang has no history of significant mental
illness that the court should be aware of when considering her request.
"Is your decision to go on your own, to represent yourself, entirely voluntary?" Altman asked Zhang Tuesday. Zhang
said that it was.
"There is no issue with respect to her competency. I find in fact that she is quite intelligent." Altman said as he ruled to
allow Zhang to represent herself. "I think she is making a very bad decision, but I think the decision is her own."
In court on Tuesday, Zhang started by asking to know the names of everyone in the courtroom for "security purposes."
Altman identified himself, the interpreter and the court reporter. Members of the public seated in the gallery were not
identified.
Zhang was arrested on March 30, allegedly trying to unlawfully enter Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump's South
Florida club and residence. On April 12, Zhang was indicted by a grand jury on two federal charges: lying to a federal
agent and entering restricted property. Zhang faces up to a year on the trespassing charge and up to five years for lying
to a federal agent.
Zhang has so far refused to accept copies of evidence provided by the U.S. Attorneys Office, according to U.S. Attorney
Rolando Garcia. During the scheduling hearing, Zhang's former defense attorneys told Zhang they believe that some of
Page 12
Mar-a-Lago intruder deemed mentally competent and allowed to represent herself at trial The Miami Herald June 11,
2019 Tuesday

that evidence could be "exculpatory," and had it translated into Chinese for Zhang prior to their dismissal. Prompted by
the judge, Zhang acknowledged that her attorneys were "very hard working." She also suggested that she did not want
to review any evidence, a decision Altman advised against.
Last month, Zhang surprised the court during a pretrial hearing when she told Altman she wanted to dismiss her court-
appointed public defenders and represent herself during the unusual one-hour back-and-forth.
At the time of her original request, Altman called Zhang's desire to dismiss her attorneys a "very bad decision," and
grilled Zhang on legal books she had read and whether she would have time to learn the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure.
On Tuesday, Zhang reiterated her desire to represent herself and waive her right to an attorney.
"I can do it by myself," Zhang said. "I insist on my opinion. I want to do it by myself."
According to Militello, Zhang's decision does not seem to be rooted in any dissatisfaction with the defense attorneys
provided to her because Zhang also met with a private defense attorney and Zhang also declined that attorney's offer to
represent her.
"Do you understand the charges in counts one and two carry significant criminal penalties?" Altman asked. Zhang
responded that she did.

Altman again walked through concerns regarding whether Zhang would have enough time to prepare and understand
American law, asking Zhang if she understands the consequences of her decision to represent herself. He read the
indictment and then explained the criminal procedure to Zhang at length -- including specifics of the jury selection
process, the calling of witnesses, and jury instructions, checking to make sure she understood the procedure after each
point.
Altman had originally postponed his decision until after Zhang saw a doctor after Zhang's defense attorneys suggested
in a hearing in May that there may be mental health red flags in Zhang's recent past. At the time, Altman said he would
allow her to represent herself if she was deemed competent.
"I don't want to see a doctor," Zhang insisted to Altman.
Zhang later refused to see the doctor her attorneys arranged for her. Despite this, her lawyers filed a motion last week
stating that Zhang "does not suffer from a mental disease or defect" and paving the way for her to represent herself.
This is the latest in a bizarre drama unfolding the South Florida federal court, after Zhang was stopped from entering the
president's private estate in March. Zhang made it through the first layer of security claiming that she wanted to use the
pool, but was later caught after she provided a different story to a receptionist. Zhang's case has raised questions about
lax security at Mar-a-Lago and the risks that may pose to the president's safety and national security.
Zhang was arrested after she told a receptionist she was there to attend an event that didn't exist. It was later determined
that Zhang had bought a ticket to a private fundraiser event that had been planned for the evening of the 30th, and
promoted on Chinese social media by massage parlor entrepreneur Cindy Yang as a chance to mingle with members of
the president's family. The event ticket was sold to Zhang by Yang's associate Charles Lee, according to Zhang's defense
attorneys. Yang has previously denied knowing Zhang.
The March 30 event was canceled after the Miami Herald's original reporting uncovering Yang's political connections
and business selling access to the president and his family through events at Mar-a-Lago.

Among the electronic devices Zhang had on her was a thumb-drive that Secret Service agents initially said contained
malware. In early hearings, prosecutors said the case could involve espionage. Zhang has not subsequently been charged
with espionage and prosecutors later walked back the validity of the malware test, saying it could have been a false
positive.

Case against the media goes nowhere


SECTION: NEWS; Pg. A4

LENGTH: 629 words

First-year law students are educated on libel and defamation as they pertain to elected officials.

Last week, former State Attorney Steve Russell was schooled on the subject again.

Chief Judge Charles Williams of Florida's 12th Judicial Circuit delivered the lesson via a six-page summary dismissal
of Russell's complaint against Fort Myers-based Waterman Broadcasting and three of its journalists working for NBC-2
News.

Williams reminded Russell and his attorney, Allan Parvey, that elected officials have a higher burden than most when it
comes to defamation.

In keeping with the spirit of the First Amendment, the press is granted great latitude in covering governments, Williams
wrote. Neither Russell nor Parvey responded to requests for comment.

The case has as its basis a 2016 report NBC-2 did on a string of unsolved murders plaguing the Dunbar area.

The U.S. Department of Justice sent a team to analyze the situation. Between 2000 and 2012, Fort Myers experienced
189 murders, with about 90 of them going unsolved, the DOJ team reported.

It cited several factors as contributing to the Fort Myers Police Department's inability to solve more cases.

Among them, fear of retaliation on the part of witnesses, reduced staffing at the Police Department, the presence of a
large number of illegal handguns and limited trust between law enforcement and the community.

Russell and his office were mentioned only once in the contributing factors, in a passage reading, "There is a perception
among some stakeholders that county prosecutors will only authorize arrest warrants for those cases that have been
proven beyond a reasonable doubt, versus the lesser standard of probable cause."

The Justice Department report did not suggest Russell or his office do anything differently.

The NBC-2 report seized on the stakeholders' perception angle of the story.

Anchor Peter Busch introduced it by saying, "Serious accusations tonight against the local state attorney. A new report
finds he should shoulder the blame for the number of violent crimes that actually end up in front of a jury."
Page 18
Case against the media goes nowhere Naples Daily News (Florida) June 11, 2019 Tuesday

Anchor Kellie Burns-Garvey added, "A Department of Justice report on the homicide rate in the city points the blame at
Steve Russell, saying his policies are keeping murderers on the street."

Williams ruled that the journalists sensationalized the report to attract viewers.

But previous court decisions have established that news media can choose the focus of a piece and phrase things in a
way to catch an audience's attention, Williams noted.

The "gist" of the story, that Russell had been criticized by members of the community, was true, Williams ruled.

For a public official to win a defamation case, he or she must show at a minimum that false statements were made with
reckless disregard for the truth.

In a ruling that reads like a primer on public officials and libel, Williams quotes the landmark First Amendment case
New York Times v. Sullivan.

"A rule compelling the critic of official conduct to guarantee the truth of all his factual assertions - and do so on the pain
of libel judgments virtually unlimited in amount - leads to a comparable self-censorship," the U.S. Supreme Court found
in 1964.

It isn't Russell's first go-round with the media. He sued the Fort Myers News-Press for defamation in 1984 and that case
was also dismissed.

Russell is no longer a public official, having retired in 2018. But until then, he was - and an attorney to boot.

He and his office had better things to do than pursue a hopeless case against a television station. A first-year law student
could have told him as much.

Sen. Portman Issues Statement on Confirmation of Holte as Judge on Court of


Federal Claims
BYLINE: Targeted News Service

LENGTH: 381 words

DATELINE: WASHINGTON

Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, issued the following statement on the confirmation of Ryan T. Holte as a judge on the U.S.
Court of Federal Claims:
"Ryan Holte has the experience and temperament necessary to make an outstanding judge. Throughout the nomination
process I've been impressed with Ryan's demeanor, credentials and earnest desire to serve his country.
"I'm confident that Ryan will make a terrific judge on the U.S. Court of Federal Claims."
NOTE: Last year, Portman sent a letter of support to the then-Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
and Ranking Minority Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) advocating for Senate confirmation of Holte as Judge on the
U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
Holte currently serves as the David L. Brennan Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Intellectual
Property Law and Technology at the University of Akron School of Law. Previously, he practiced as a litigation attorney
at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and as an associate at the Jones Day law firm and at Finnegan, an international
intellectual property law firm. Holte clerked for Judge Loren A. Smith on the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and for
Judge Stanley F. Birch, Jr., on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Holte earned his law degree from the
University of Davis School of law, where he served as staff editor of the U.C. Davis Business Law Journal. He earned
his bachelor's degree, magna cum laude, in engineering at the California Maritime Academy, where he was a First Class
graduate of the California Maritime Academy Corps of Cadets Third Engineering Division.
Congress created the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in 1982 pursuant to Article I of the U.S. Constitution. It is a direct
successor to the U.S. Court of Claims, established in 1855. The court consists of 16 judges who are nominated by the
president and confirmed by the Senate for 15 year terms. The court has jurisdiction to hear cases involving citizens'
monetary claims against the United States federal government. It also may hear a variety of specialized claims against
the government, including contract claims, bid protests, military and civilian pay claims, vaccine injury cases, and
patent and copyright claims.

FINAL EDITION

Alcee Hastings: A remarkable life;


Hastings makes political comeback
BYLINE: By Wayne Washington, The Palm Beach Post

SECTION: A SECTION; Pg. 1A

LENGTH: 2434 words

For most, the blows would have been too great.


Alcee Hastings beat the criminal charges against him. But he was impeached as a federal judge by the U.S. House, and
the U.S. Senate convicted him, tossing him from the bench.
The cost of his legal defense reached into the millions. Congressional disclosure forms show Hastings still owes lawyers
between $2.13 million and $7.35 million.
Hastings' 1989 run for governor of Florida quickly became a run for secretary of state before becoming yet another
electoral defeat, his eighth.
There was hope for Hastings, however, in the details of that defeat.
He finished second in the
Democratic primary, just behind newspaper columnist Jim Minter. Hastings got 313,758 votes to force a runoff.
Minter beat Hastings decisively in the head-to-head race, but 51,000 people in Broward and Miami-Dade counties voted
for the impeached judge.
Hastings had a political base; he just needed an office he could win.
That problem was solved after a panel of judges, using data from the 1990 U.S. Census, redrew the state's congressional
districts and added a new one, the 23rd, specifically to increase the chances that a black office-seeker could win it.
While the new district reached into rural counties, its most populous areas were in Broward and Miami-Dade, the heart
of Hastings' base of support.
The former judge did not fail to take note, launching yet another bid for public office.
To win the seat, he'd have to get past Lois Frankel, then a state House member looking for a spot in Washington.
Frankel pounded away at Hastings' removal from the federal bench, questioning his honesty. She won the Democratic
primary with 35%, but that wasn't enough to avoid a runoff with Hastings, who got 28% in the field of five candidates.
Some black voters were displeased by Frankel's effort to win a seat drawn to increase black congressional
representation.
The race got ugly.
Hastings called Frankel a "racist bitch."
On a radio show, Frankel pushed back.
Page 28
Alcee Hastings: A remarkable life; Hastings makes political comeback Palm Beach Post (Florida) June 2, 2019 Sunday

"I don't like being called a racist bitch," Frankel said.


Hastings said he hadn't liked being called a criminal.
"I have no recollection of calling him a criminal," Frankel said. "My recollection is this: that the United States Congress
has called him a criminal."
The remark wasn't accurate, not technically, anyway. The Senate had convicted Hastings of multiple impeachment
offenses and kicked him off the federal bench. But it had not declared him a criminal.
And Hastings still had a reservoir of support to tap.
"As far as the black voters were concerned, you look beyond the impeachment thing and look at the years of service in
general," Leon Russell of the NAACP in Florida said. "He has represented black folks in a lot of positive ways, and
people know that."
Hastings beat Frankel in the runoff and cruised to a win in the general election, easily defeating Republican Ed Fielding,
of Stuart.
He was a phoenix, rising from the ashes of his judicial career to begin a new one in Congress. And he had another dance
with history, joining Carrie Meek and Corrine Brown in the first group of black Floridians since Reconstruction to be
elected to the House.
Lifeline for disbarred lawyer
Alcee Hastings, at 56, would be joining the same body that had impeached him three years earlier.
Voters across the country had wanted change. A record number of women had been elected to Congress, and Bill
Clinton had beaten back George H.W. Bush's push for a second term.
Bubbling with brio, Hastings once again had a grand platform.
"We are ready for the hard work that faces us, our new president and this nation," he said.
It had been a triumphant year for Hastings, but it hadn't been all sunshine.
Patricia G. Williams, one of the lawyers who had represented him as he faced criminal charges and then impeachment,
had faced a trial of her own.
The Florida Bar petitioned the state Supreme Court to disbar Williams, alleging that she committed a variety of ethical
violations, including lying to a judicial grievance committee, charging an excessive contingency fee, issuing a worthless
check and using client trust fund money for her own purposes.
In time, Williams and Hastings became more to each other than lawyer and client, although it is not clear when their
professional relationship turned personal.
Some media reports from the 1980s described Williams as Hastings' girlfriend. Hastings, now twice divorced and a
father of three, typically says little publicly about his private life.
As Williams fought to keep her license, Hastings represented her. The court accepted the bar's recommendation that
Williams be disbarred.
"Dishonesty and a lack of candor cannot be tolerated in a profession built upon trust and respect for the law," the court
found.
At age 46, Williams' legal career was over. Hastings, however, would offer a lifeline - a lucrative position on his
congressional staff. To this day, Williams is listed as Hastings' deputy district director.
Lawyers in Florida with six to eight years of experience earn an average salary of $90,000, according to a 2018 survey
from the Florida Bar. Partners and shareholders earned an average of $150,000 per year, according to the bar.
Williams, despite being disbarred, pulled in average annual pay of more than $148,000 as Hastings' congressional aide
from 2000 to 2018, the years her salary was tracked by LegiStorm, a web-based congressional pay tracker.
Among Hastings' staff, only chief of staff Art Kennedy has earned more during that time, according to LegiStorm.
Page 29

House ethics rules don't prohibit a member of Congress from employing his girlfriend. The rules don't stop them from
buying a home together, either.
Williams' and Hastings' names appear together on the deed for a $700,000 home they bought in the Valencia Cove gated
community west of Boynton Beach in 2017.
Hastings confirmed that he remains in a relationship with his aide, whom he described as an expert on immigration law.
"She's worked with me from Day One," Hastings said. "It would be one thing if she didn't work. But she's working
today, and she has continued to work. There is no prohibition against it whatsoever."
The political optics of having your girlfriend on staff, paying her an enormous salary and having that salary, in recent
years, contribute to your household aren't lost on Hastings. But the congressman is undaunted.
"However it looks, it's been looking like that for 25 years," he said.
Hiring decisions don't hurt him
Williams isn't the only sanctioned employee to work for Hastings. In 2011, Hastings' congressional counsel, Mikel
Jones, was convicted of 30 felonies in connection with a fraudulent loan scheme. He was sentenced to 42 months in
prison and ordered to pay $458,000 in restitution.
Jones, operating a law firm in Philadelphia while serving as Hastings' legislative counsel, used money from a business
line of credit for his own personal use, authorities said.
Jones' felonies included money laundering, wire fraud and mail fraud.
His wife, Dona Nichols Jones, was convicted of 16 felonies connected to the scheme, including wire fraud and money
laundering. She was sentenced to one day in prison and ordered to pay $359,000 in restitution.
Hastings fired Mikel Jones but later put Nichols Jones on his staff. Figures from LegiStorm indicate she has been paid
about $163,000 since 2000 and serves as a staff assistant.
"Mikel and Dona are my friends," Hastings said. "They are still my friends. They didn't do nothing to me. Donna and
Mikel paid their dues to society."
Hastings' staffing decisions have not hurt him at the polls.
He hasn't just won reelection every two years since winning his seat in 1992; he has crushed all comers.
Five times, he has had no general election opponent. And in all of his contested reelection campaigns, his average share
of the vote has been a whopping 80%.
In elections since 2012, when new congressional boundaries put Hastings in the Palm Beach County-centered 20th
District, his share of the vote in general elections has risen.
Not even the #MeToo movement has slowed Hastings' electoral roll.
Two years ago, Hastings said he was surprised and disappointed when he learned that the U.S. government had paid
$220,000 to settle sexual harassment complaints a staff member had brought against Hastings and the Helsinki
Commission, a federal agency set up to monitor security arrangements between the United States and its European
allies.
Hastings was House chairman of the commission and is currently serving his second stint in the job.
In 2011, a 53-year old woman named Winsome Packer filed suit against Hastings and the commission, saying Hastings
made crude sexual comments to her, touched her inappropriately and pursued her for sex.
Packer, a Republican, was initially represented by a conservative organization, Judicial Watch.
The suit went nowhere. A federal judge dismissed it, and the House Committee on Ethics found no evidence to support
Packer's claims.
Hastings maintained that he did not harass Packer.
Nonetheless, the federal government paid Packer $220,000 to settle the case.
Page 30
Alcee Hastings: A remarkable life; Hastings makes political comeback Palm Beach Post (Florida) June 2, 2019 Sunday

Roll Call broke the story of that payment in December 2017, two months after allegations of sexual assault and
harassment torpedoed the career of movie producer Harvey Weinstein and sparked a national discussion about how
women are treated in the workplace.
Efforts to reach Packer were unsuccessful. Hastings minced no words in pushing back against her allegations.
"I am outraged that any taxpayer dollars were needlessly paid to Ms. Packer," Hastings said.
In the months after Weinstein, allegations of harassment forced the resignation of powerful men in entertainment and
politics, but Hastings trounced a primary opponent last year and had no opposition in the general election.
Impeach Trump?
Despite his many years of seniority, Hastings chairs no congressional committees. He was once in line to be chairman of
the House Intelligence Committee, but there were grumblings about the impeachment scandal, and Speaker Nancy
Pelosi chose someone with less seniority to fill the position.
Hastings said he believes his impeachment was a factor.
Now, that impeachment gives him a unique perspective as some Democrats contemplate whether to impeach President
Donald Trump.
Hastings scoffs at the notion that impeachment is a purely legal, apolitical consideration.
"Impeachment is as partisan as hell," he said. "I know it because I've lived it."
Hastings said the time may come when Democrats have to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump, regardless
of whether they want to.
Polls show most Americans don't favor Trump's impeachment, and Pelosi, to the consternation of some in her caucus,
has urged caution.
"I will abide Pelosi's caution," Hastings said, "but we will have to do our duty. Otherwise, us swearing to uphold the
Constitution is just a bunch of words. This man has degraded and debased the presidency."
Some members of the House, such as Elijah Cummings, of Maryland, Jerry Nadler, of New York, and Adam Schiff, of
California, have gained national attention overseeing investigations related to Trump.
Hastings' constituents won't see him on TV grilling special counsel Robert Mueller, Attorney General William Barr or
any of the other players in the drawn-out drama.
His own impeachment has kept Hastings from joining the fray.
"There's no way in the world that I would serve on an impeachment panel," he said. "All the talk would be of how I got
impeached."
'The man is a fighter'
Frankel, who joined Hastings in Congress in 2013 after two terms as mayor of West Palm Beach, said Hastings' voice
on other matters remains an important one.
She said he continues to have influence through his spot on the House Rules Committee, which sets the terms of debate
for legislation and determines whether and how much legislation can be amended.
"He's been on the Rules Committee for many years," Frankel said. "The Rules Committee touches every piece of
legislation."
Frankel said she and other Democrats often seek out Hastings to get information about legislation he saw in committee.
"He's a sounding board," said Frankel, adding that the two liberal Democrats have long since squashed their decades-old
beef.
Hastings, she said, helped her raise money for Democrats when, after their testy congressional primary, she regained her
seat in the Florida House.
"We've been friends ever since," she said. "Alcee is a very well-liked and respected member of the caucus. Our politics
are very similar. What would be the point of holding a grudge?"
Page 31
Alcee Hastings: A remarkable life; Hastings makes political comeback Palm Beach Post (Florida) June 2, 2019 Sunday

But what of having your girlfriend on staff? What of having a convicted money launderer on staff?
Frankel said raising such questions is unfair, "unless he's violating some type of ethics or criminal law. ... No one's
perfect. I don't hear his constituents talking about that stuff."
Belle Glade Mayor Steve Wilson said Hastings was an ally as his city sought federal money for water projects.
"Whenever we called, he was there," Wilson said. "People respect him. People think his heart is in the right place."
Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness, a close ally of Hastings', agreed.
"The man is a fighter, and when he speaks, he speaks with passion and with eloquence," Holness said. "And people
listen."
Former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, a Palm Beach County Republican forced by scandal to resign from Congress in 2006,
said he and Hastings fought to protect the sugar industry in the Glades because it meant jobs for the region.
He praised the congressman as an eloquent orator who doesn't hold a grudge and who has a soft spot for people who
find themselves in trouble.
Foley recalled a moment several years ago when, after he had resigned, he decided to attend a health care forum hosted
by the Palm Beach County Commission.
Hastings was there and took a moment to point out his old colleague from the other side of the aisle and tell the
audience that he was glad Foley had decided to attend.
"That meant a lot," Foley said. "He's been in the barrel himself. He knows what that's like."
Despite his illness, Hastings is attending committee hearings and casting votes.
"I'm doing all of my work," he said.
Doctors have given him some good news on the cancer.
"They say the tumor is quiet," he said, adding that he has undergone radiation treatment.
He is typically blunt in assessing what confronts him.
"I'm not going to be cured of pancreatic cancer," he said. "I've mastered the technique of putting one foot in front of the
other."
Politically, he remains undaunted.
"All things considered," he said, "I survived it all."

NRA lobbyist should open books, then hang up holster


Sun Sentinel Editorial
SECTION: A SECTION; A; Pg. 11

LENGTH: 659 words

HIGHLIGHT: If, as reported, NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer failed to follow the laws governing lobbyists for five
years, she must be held accountable. If Tallahassee allows one of its most powerful lobbyists to skate, why should
anyone else follow the law? She is shown here with former Gov. Jeb Bush and former House Speaker Allan
Bense.MARK FOLEY/AP File

For three decades, Marion Hammer has been the face of the gun lobby at the state Capitol in Tallahassee.
In her trademark red blazer, the first woman to lead the National Rifle Association is a study in contrasts. She's a
champion to Second Amendment advocates and the personification of pro-gun extremism to supporters of common-
sense gun laws.
The 80-year-old Hammer built her reputation by holding people accountable. When the NRA suffered political losses in
the 2016 session, she named names of Republican lawmakers she said "betrayed" gun owners, which most lobbyists
would never do. Then she activated the NRA's mailing list to lobby the governor and block a House member from
getting a judicial appointment.
Now Tallahassee must hold Hammer accountable if, as has been reported, she failed to comply with the laws governing
lobbyists - for five years.
Two Democratic lawmakers have filed sworn complaints with the House, Senate and Commission on Ethics, accusing
Hammer of not filing quarterly compensation reports for her NRA work from 2014 through 2018, in violation of state
law.
The complaints followed a report by the investigative news site Florida Bulldog, which cited federal tax records that
showed the NRA had paid Hammer $929,000 to lobby over a five-year period. "None of it was reported to state lobbyist
regulators," the website reported.
State law requires lobbyists who are not salaried employees to disclose their fees quarterly. Otherwise, they face fines of
up to $5,000 per violation and a ban from lobbying for up to two years. Hammer is not an NRA employee, the Bulldog
reported, but a consultant who serves on its board of directors.
Hammer did not respond to requests for comment by the Sun Sentinel. Her uncharacteristic silence speaks volumes
because she has never been shy about speaking up when feeling scorned.
The Senate rules allow for wiggle room when lobbyists make mistakes, but they have to be an "inadvertent, technical or
otherwise de minimis violation by informal means." But five years of mistakes? That reeks of someone who believes
that the rules don't apply to her.
Senate rules also allow an offender to resolve a complaint by signing a consent decree. Considering the number of
potential violations facing Hammer, any settlement talks should end with her hanging up her holster.

No question, some lobbyists hate disclosing their fees, because it lets the public see the money that special interests
shell out to curry favor with elected officials.
"Florida's lobbying disclosure law was passed in 2005 to give citizens more insight into the forces driving the legislative
process," said Sen. Perry Thurston, D-Lauderhill, who filed the Senate complaint against Hammer. "The National Rifle
Association has had an outsize influence on passage of pro-gun bills for more than two decades. Floridians have the
right to know just how much money was driving that agenda, and why those payments were never disclosed."
According to Senate rules, Senate Rules Chair Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, must act on a complaint within 30
days of receipt. Thurston's complaint is dated May 22.
The House complaint was filed by Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, with the House Public Integrity and Ethics
Committee. Eskamani's district includes the site of the Pulse nightclub, where 49 people were murdered and 53
wounded on June 12, 2016.
"Marion Hammer has not been filing the appropriate paperwork," Eskamani told the Sun Sentinel. "There's no reason
why other than they're trying to hide something."
The vast majority of lobbyists-for-hire play by the disclosure rules and report their compensation every three months.
The same rules apply to the NRA and Marion Hammer.
The Legislature and ethics commission should act firmly and with resolve to investigate these complaints and prove
they are serious about public accountability. Five years is a long time to flout the law. Far too long, for one of
Tallahassee's sharpest shooters.

HIGHLIGHT: Next week marks the 50th anniversary of the John Walker & Sons v. John W. Bethea trial, at which
Scotch whiskey makers argued a Latta, S.C., man was trying to capitalize on people's familiarity with their liquor brand
at the Johnny Walker Motel on U.S. 301.

Travelers to Dillon County can now legally order a shot of Johnnie Walker with dinner, but a district court judge in
1969 put a stop to them staying in a motel of the same name.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of the John Walker & Sons v. John W. Bethea trial where Scotch whiskey makers
argued a Latta man was trying to capitalize on people's familiarity with their liquor brand at the Johnny Walker Motel
on U.S. 301. Bethea, a Navy vet known around town by the traditionally Southern double name of Johnny Walker,
countered that his mother had picked the name for his business when it opened in 1960.
According to The News and Courier, the case drew "much spectator interest from the Pee Dee area" in part because the
distillery sent in lawyers from England, company representatives from Scotland, marketing specialists from Texas,
witnesses from Washington, D.C., and New York City brand executives.
The crux of John Walker & Sons' case involved three surveys conducted by University of South Carolina students at the
liquor company's behest.
The students showed a picture of the Johnny Walker Motel sign to Washington residents, Florence locals and out-of-
state travelers who'd stopped for a meal at the Stuckey's or Horne's in Latta, and asked, "What product does this suggest
to you?"
More than half of the interviewees living outside of South Carolina said something about liquor. That was proof enough
for U.S. District Judge Robert W. Hemphill, who ruled Bethea had committed trademark infringement, even though the
town postmaster testified that he would deliver any mail addressed to "Johnny Walker" to Bethea.
Hemphill was unmoved by the survey's finding that fewer than one out of every four Florence residents thought of
Scotch when they saw the words "Johnny Walker."
As he explained in his ruling, the court was sympathetic to the suggestions that "the South is traditionally more
influenced by those Protestant denominations which prohibit the use of alcoholic beverages; that the plaintiff's product
is one of the more expensive liquors and South Carolina is a comparatively poor region of the nation; that the South is a
'bourbon' rather than a Scotch area."
Bethea died in 1994.

Former LA-area man who used Russian photo-sharing website to obtain, share
and advertise child pornography sentenced to 25 years in federal prison
LENGTH: 658 words

Washington,DC:U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued the following news release: A former West
Covina resident was sentenced today to 300 months in federal prison for uploading images of child pornography to a
Russian photo-sharing website and publishing an advertisement that sought to exchange sexually-explicit images of
children. Christopher Clay Roman-Tuttle, 33, now of Spokane, Washington, who also uses the name Christopher Clay
Tuttle, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson. Once he completes the prison sentence, Tuttle will be
required to register as a sex offender and will be on supervised release for the rest of his life. This case was investigated
by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles, and
resulted in Roman-Tuttle pleading guilty in March to one count of advertising child pornography - which carries a
mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison.
When he pleaded guilty, Roman-Tuttle admitted that he created an online account in 2015 that he used to publish an
advertisement seeking to receive, exchange and distribute child pornography. He further admitted that he posted two
photo albums - one containing non-pornographic images of a minor known to him, and one of which contained images
of unknown children being sexually exploited. Roman-Tuttle advertised these images and sought to obtain additional
images in a statement, which read, in part: "Preteens and tween's in diapers is cool too.... I'd love to meet up with a
parent that wants to share their daughter (of course id make it worth their wile)." In response to the advertisement,
Roman-Tuttle received numerous emails over the course of two days from dozens of individuals seeking to exchange
child pornography with him, and many of these individuals sent him digital files of child pornography. Roman-Tuttle
admitted sending child pornography to many of these individuals. In emails to some of these other individuals, Roman-
Tuttle described his desire to sexually abuse children, including the minor known to him, whom he admitted to having
sexually abused in the past, according to his plea agreement. "Based on defendant's online activity, it is clear that
defendant has a sexual interest in children, and used child pornography to seek out individuals who would allow him
sexual access to other children," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo filed with the court. "In aid of this quest,
defendant treated images of sexually-exploited children as currency, offering to trade images and videos from his
collection to obtain his preferred images of girls between five and eight years old." In his plea agreement, Roman-
Tuttle also admitted possessing more than 9,000 images and 330 videos of child pornography on his computer and on
other devices, including images depicting the sexual abuse and exploitation of infants or toddlers. He also admitted to
knowingly possessing a sexually explicit image of the minor known to him. HSI encourages the public to report
suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free Tip Line at1-866-DHS-2-ICE or by

How Daubert Standard Could Impact Florida Industry, Judicial Climate


BYLINE: Amy O'Connor

LENGTH: 1142 words

The Florida Supreme Court has reversed a prior court's decision to use a nearly 100-year-old standard on expert witness
testimony and instead adopted stricter federal standards currently used by a majority of states.
The court, which turned over in January with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis' appointment of three new judges,
ruled last month to replace the previously used "Frye" standard with what is known as the "Daubert" standard. The
decision reversed an earlier court decision to block the use of theDaubertstandard despite the Florida Legislature
adopting it in 2013.
Defense lawyers say the move could have implications for insurers involved in lawsuits for a variety of different classes
of business, as well as potentially reduce frivolous suits.
Daubertvs.Frye
TheDaubertstandard was adopted by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993 from the case ofDaubert v. Merrell Dow
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.It replaced theFryestandard adopted federally after the 1923 case ofFrye v. United States.
TheDaubertstandard is used by judges to determine the eligibility of an expert witness based on the expert's
qualifications, as well as the relevance and reliability of the expert's testimony.Daubertis considered a higher bar for
allowing expert witness testimony thanFrye, in which an expert can be allowed to testify based on their opinion if it is
considered generally acceptable in the relevant scientific community.
Thirty-six states nationwide are currently using some form ofDaubertinstead ofFrye.
Florida courts will implement a multi-faceted test to decide on the admissibility of expert evidence under
theDaubertstandard.
Florida passed legislation in 2013 to adopt theDaubertstandard to, according to the Florida Bar, "ensure that the expert's
testimony admitted into evidence is both relevant and reliable." The standard was in effect until 2018 when the then-
court ruled it would go back to usingFrye. Opponents ofDaubertsuccessfully argued to the court that the standard made
trials more expensive and kept people from being able to access the courts.
In its per curiam opinion issued May 23, the current Florida Supreme Court said "the majority of this Court previously
declined to adopt theDaubertamendments, to the extent that they are procedural, solely 'due to the constitutional
concerns raised' by the Florida Bar's Code and Rules of Evidence Committee and commenters who opposed the
amendments."
But in the 5-2 opinion, the court said the "grave constitutional concerns" raised by those who opposedDaubert"appear
unfounded."
TheDaubertstandard, the court said, remedies deficiencies of theFryestandard.
"Daubertprovides that 'the trial judge must ensure that any and all scientific testimony or evidence admitted is not only
relevant, but reliable,'" and "theDaubertamendments will create consistency between the state and federal courts with
respect to the admissibility of expert testimony and will promote fairness and predictability in the legal system, as well
as help lessen forum shopping."

In a dissent, Justice Jorge LaBarga said "... in my viewFryeis the superior standard for determining the reliability of
expert testimony."
Effects on Insurance, Judicial Climate
The move could affect nearly every case in the state, including those related to the insurance industry, such as
construction, medical malpractice and personal injury coverage disputes.
Craig Hudson, regional managing attorney, in the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., offices of Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman
& Goggin, a defense litigation firm that works with insurers, said he supportsDaubertand thinks it is a "more reasoned
approach to expert testimony because the court should be the gatekeeper on those."
Insurers, their claims personnel and attorneys will need to takeDaubertinto consideration when looking at claims
litigation going forward, he noted.
"It is important for [insurers] to at least closely scrutinize experts that are being retained by both parties in any litigation,
if there is an opportunity, and on those cases that are stretching the envelope it is very important," he said.
Lawyers retained by insurance companies, he said, could now try and perhaps be successful at removing experts they
view as being unqualified for testimony. "It adds another avenue of defense," Hudson said.
Executive Director of the Florida Property Casualty Association (FPCA) William Stander said that while it is ultimately
hard to predict exactly how the adoption ofDaubertwill play out in Florida's litigation environment, the move was a
"welcome surprise."
"Certainly, from the perspective of someone who works with insurance industry issues it can only be positive," Stander
said.
He noted federally it has helped keep certain suits out of the courtroom because of the higher standard for expert
witnesses.
The Florida Chamber of Commerce said adoptingDaubertis a significant move that would eliminate "junk science from
Florida's court," and that it "may help end "
"This is an important step forward in improving Florida's legal climate, and providing predictability in the courtroom,
stability for job creators, and greater economic prosperity for Floridians," said David Hart, executive vice president of
the Florida Chamber of Commerce.
William Large, president of the Florida Justice Reform Institute, also supported the move and said the decision "will
change the face of Florida jurisprudence."
The Florida Justice Association, however, which represents trial attorneys in the state and argued to the previous Florida
Supreme Court thatDaubertis unconstitutional, said whenDaubertwas in effect it was used by some opponents of the
jury system to "clog the courts with meritless motions that drive up the costs of litigation for everyday people and put
increased, unfunded burdens on the judicial branch."
WhenDaubertwas in effect between 2013 and 2018, it caused "extra hearings, extra motions, more litigation," said
Bryan Gowdy, an attorney with Creed & Gowdy in Jacksonville, Fla., and incoming chair of the FJA's Amicus
Committee.
"We represent individuals, not corporations, and that's a cost that they have to somehow bear," he said.
Gowdy said FJA would like to seeDaubertimplemented in a way that eliminates frivolous litigation and defenses.
Parties that bring "baseless"Daubertmotions should pay for the costs involved, he added.
"The FJA wants Florida's citizen juries to render verdicts based on reliable scientific and expert testimony," Gowdy said.
Ultimately, FJA "respects the decision of the [Florida Supreme Court]," Gowdy said, but it hopes to work with the
courts and the Florida Legislature to implementDaubertin a "commonsense" way.
"The FJA looks forward to working with the courts and the legislature to implementDaubertwith commonsense rules
that preserve the jury system and ensure justice is administered in an orderly, fair, and cost-efficient manner," he said.

After Calk Pled Not Guilty Inner City Press Asked Of Fraud Finding No CRA On Bank Website
By Matthew Russell Lee, Video, Alamy photos
SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 24 - Steven M. Calk of FDIC-regulated Federal Savings Bank was presented and
arraigned on May 23 for financial institution bribery for corruptly using his position with FSB to issue $16 million in
high-risk loans to Paul Manafort in a bid to obtain a senior position with the Trump administration, namely Secretary of
the Army.
Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York accepted the
government's proposal of $5 million bond with no co-signer (although that is usually required for moral suasion) and
travel allowed throughout the United States (though more defendants are usually confined to the Soutern and Eastern
District of NY and one other district). Money talks.
Afterward in front of the SDNY courthouse Inner City Press asked Calk's lawyers Daniel Stein and Jeremy Margoles
about Manafort saying he had misstated his financial situation to get the FSB loans. When did Calk know? They did not
answer. Video here, Facebook video here. Inner City Press' Alamy photos here.
On May 23, still from the SDNY courthouse covering other cases including one involving the death penalty, Inner City
Press reported finding no U.S. Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for "Federal Savings Bank." But there's more.
The Federal Savings Bank's website, while providing a generic link to the FDIC, and a statement "Member FDIC," has
no link for the U.S. Community Reinvestment Act. (Nor does it mention the indictment of Stephen Calk, simply listing
his brother John Calk now as CEO and Vice Chairman. Who is the chairman?)
It lists a loan production office on Avenue J in Brooklyn, and two deposit taking braches in Illinois. Did it see some
exemption from the CRA and other consumer protection laws? From fair lending laws? The FDIC website provides no
insight.
Stephen Calk was quoted, at least in 2012, opposing regulation: "As Mr. Stephen Calk writes in the September 7, 2012
edition of Origination News: "Basel III is designed to level the playing field among major banking institutions that
operate internationally. Force-feeding these same rules to community banks in the United States is unnecessary and in
fact counter-productive, particularly in the current economic environment." Basel III is one thing. But no Community
Reinvestment Act?
The Federal Savings Bank lists locations - and bankers - in Arizona - Scottsdale California - Irvine Colorado - Fort
Collins Delaware - Selbyville Florida - Sarasota Illinois - Chicago Illinois - Lake Forest Illinois - Oak Brook Illinois -

In the indictment press release, FDIC OIG Special Agent-in-Charge Patricia Tarasca said, "Today's indictment charges
Stephen Calk with misusing his position as Chairman and CEO of a bank for his own personal gain. The FDIC Office
of Inspector General remains committed to investigating cases where bank officials cause multimillion-dollar losses to a
financial institution and undermine its integrity." (The FDIC stands to be the lead regulator of BB&T whose money
laundering enforcement action was just terminated by the Federal Reserve to facilitate merger with Suntrust, click here
for that and Inner City Press' FOIA request and appeal.)
The indictment was unsealed the day after President Donald J. Trump lost his bid to stay the House of Representatives'
subpoenas to two other banks, Capital One and Deutsche Bank. After the May 22 ruling in Trump v. Deutsche Bank by
SDNY Judge Edgardo Ramos, Trump lawyer Patrick Strawbridge headed to the elevators in the windowless lobby
outside the courtroom.
He was disinclined to comment and even take questions from the press. When reporters got on the elevator with him, he
got off, saying sacrastically but not bitterly, Much as I'd like to be asked questions in the elevator...
Downstairs in front of the Thurgood Marshall courthouse there were demonstrators will a long Impeach Trump banner
and the small black Congress Has A Right To Know signs, three of which had been quickly raised in the courtroom, and
just as quickly taken down when Judge Ramos requested it.
The SDNY Court Security Officers spoke to the sign holders but did not eject them, during the 10 minute recess Judge
Ramos took to put the finishing touches on his 25-page decision.
TV crews from CNN and Univision were set up across the street, and a gaggle of photographers set up on the sidewalk
to wait for Strawbridge and the House of Representatives' lawyer Douglas Letter. As time passed others passing the
courthouse, and coming out of it, stopped to ask as so often happens, Who are you waiting for?
While few had heard of Strawbridge and the House lawyer named Letter, the mention of Trump drew a range of
reactions. The sight of long lens cameras -- Inner City Press had this day retrieved it, from the seemingly overflow Press
Room in the basement of 40 Foley Square -- attracted others with cases in the SDNY.
Accompanied by a trio of children in wheelchairs on a day when the disabled entrance on Pearl Street to the Thurgood
Marshall courthouse was closed were lawyers in Abrams et al v. Carranza, one in a series of Federal lawsuits against
campaigning NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio's Education Chancellor RIchard Carranza. They had a flier and expressed hope
that SDNY Judge Alison Nathan would, as indicted, issue a ruling in their case within the week.
Other litigatants were less media savvy or directed. Those in a criminal trial before Judge Vernon Broderick admitted
the case made it hard for even them to stay awake -- Inner City Press has tried several times -- but noted that the U.S.
Attorney's office promotes the prosecution each morning in an e-mail.
The plaintiff side in an employment discrimination trial in front of Judge Valerie Caproni came out (the defense may
have been less willing to approach the press), then Judge Broderick himself, down to earth as ever. It was growing late.
To put its camera back in the 40 Foley press room, Inner City Press climbed the stairs only to be told, We close at five.
Explaining that there is a Press Room next to the cafeteria and that the Trump case had done later was at first to no
avail. Finally a supervisor was called who did not acknowledge any right to enter, but said he would allow it this one
time. We may have more on this: even in the small strokes, press access rights are important, particularly in a
courthouse.

Earlier, before issuing his ruling Judge Edgardo Ramos had asked the lawyers for the two banks that got the subpoenas,
Deutsche Bank and Capital One, if they wanted to speak. They did not. This even as House counsel Strawbridge
detailed Deutsche Bank's long history with money laundering (and theft during the Holocaust, which didn't come up).
Capital One is a rough, too, on predatory auto lending and the Community Reinvestment Act. But the banks lay low.
Now under Judge Ramos' 25-page ruling, the banks become required to respond to the subpoenas in seven days, on May
29. That's the time during which the House has agreed not to enforce the subpoena, and the time during which Trump's
lawyers seem certain to file an appeal and ask again for a stay from the Second Circuit Count of Appeals higher up, in
both senses, in 40 Foley Square.

Earlier still in the May in the SDNY, Congressman Christopher Collins (R-NY) waived his right to be present for a May
3 hearing in the criminal insider trading case against him held past 5 pm in the SDNY courtroom of Judge Broderick.
On May 10, Judge Broderick started on l'affaire Collins at 2 pm, after a case against BuzzFeed (Inner City Press
coverage here). Early in the proceeding, before two shackled inmates were led in leading to a brief suspension of the
white shoe SEC Congressman matter, Broderick made a joke about Donald Trump and evasive legal moves. I'm not
going there, said one of the participants in Collins, who was an early endorser of Trump. Broderick said, "I should have
either - but it is what it is."
Three hours later, during which Inner City Press in full disclosure went one story down in the courthouse to cover a
Fatico hearing about threats in the MCC, Judge Broderick was setting the time for Collins' lawyers to make motions. He
arrived on four weeks after he rules on discovery, with the SEC to provide whatever he directs to the defense one week
after the ruling. I'm not saying you're going to get anything, Judge Broderick said. Collins' lead lawyer said he is a
optimist. More on Patreon; watch this site.
Collins' team of lawyers have made a slew of suggestions to Judge Broderick on what discovery to seek from the U.S.
Attorney's office, from communications with the SEC to information about real estate, Cameron Collins and Lauren
Zarsky and their sales of Immunotherapeutics stock after MIS416, aimed at secondary multiple sclerosis, failed the
Drug Trial and Rep Collins made his calls from the White House Congressional picnic.
On May 3 Judge Broderick was urging wide disclosure by the government, whether characterized as 3500 material or
under Brady or Giglio. The notes to be produced, he said, didn't have to been entirely contemporaneous. He had a series
of questions for the U.S. Attorney which he did not get through as it approached 6 p.m. and his courtroom deputy had
gone for the day.
Collins' lead lawyer from BakerHostetler, Jonathan R. Barr, directed Broderick to a decision by SDNY Judge Jed
Rakoff during the Gumpta case, and Broderick said that he would read it. He confessed he had himself looked up
applicable cases on Westlaw, adding that he might have missed some cases. This case is USA v. Collins, et al., 18-cr-
00567 (VSB). More on Patreon, here.
Judge Broderick told Collins' lawyers to expect to come back in a week's time on Friday, May 10. One of them said he
would only be returning to the United States that morning; another said that he then would be leaving for the same place
his colleague had been: Argentina.
Thus is big money, and big politics, law done in the SDNY.
One story down and just two days before but as if in another universe on May 1 defendant Jesus Lopez walked into the
SDNY courtroom of Judge Valerie E. Caproni to be sentenced on May 1 for driving 10 kilograms of cocaine from
California to New York.
He was wearing a suit; he had been allowed out on bond while awaiting sentencing due to his mother having Stage Four
cancer. Before the sentencing he uploaded a video directed at Judge Caproni but still online as of this writing on Vimeo,
here.
The courtroom was full, with two U.S. Marshals in the back row, and the two front rows, Inner City Press was later
informed by a participant in the proceeding, filled by judges from China. Lopez' lawyer Jeff Greco argued in his
sentencing submission for time served, essentially one month.
But Judge Caproni, after asking Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Rhen why the government wasn't seeking forfeiture of
the truck Lopez used to drive the drugs - "there's a lot of equity in there," she said -- looked sternly at Lopez.
Judge Caproni was not impressed by Lopez' statement that he took drugs because he was bored, that boredom was one
of his triggers. She said she did not believe that he had only agreed to drive the drugs in order to feed his own habit.
First she sentenced him to 60 month, five years, in prison.
Then as the U.S. Marshals rustled in the row behind Inner City Press, she said she would be remanding Lopex into
custody today. Right now. Her courtroom deputy handed the Marshals an order to that effect.
Defense attorney Greco said that Lopez' mother could die at any time, and that the Bureau of Prisons would be unlikely
to let him out to attend her funeral. Judge Caproni said there was no way to know when his mother would die, and that
she had allowed him to remain out on bond pending sentencing so he could spent time with her. The Chinese judges sat
as Jesus Lopez took his wallet out of his pants and put his hands out for shackling.

A well known courtroom artist in the SDNY has told Inner City Press about the time she managed to sketch a similar
remand of a higher profile defendant, Bernie Madoff. But there was no artist present for the remand of Jesus Lopez, and
cameras are not allowed - only this article. The case is U.S. v. Lopez, part of the larger conspiracy prosecution U.S. v.
Soto et al., 18-cr-00282 (Caproni).
Notably one floor above in 40 Foley Square, a man who pled guilty to stealing $7 million in Medicare and Medicaid
fraud has had his sentencing delayed for a year already, and perhaps another year, so that his wife can finish a medical
residency program. That case is U.S v. Javed, 16-cr-00601-VSB. Unlike the unpublicized case of Jesus Lopez, the
Office of the US Attorney for the SDNY announced the Javed sentencing to the press (but not its subsequent deferral).
Click here for that story.
Which approach is the right one? How can these disparities be explained? These are among the questions that Inner City
Press will be pursuing, in the SDNY. Watch this site, and the new @SDNYLIVE Twitter feed.
Background: Even in Judge Caproni's courtroom, there are more positive or lenient stories. When Todd Howe, who pled
guilty in the New York State corruption case(s), came up for sentencing on April 5, Judge Caproni was told that Howe is
now working more than 12 hours a day in Idaho, on ski slopes and now a golf course. After his guilty plea he had been
remanded to the Metropolitan Correctional Center when he disputed to Capital One some credit card charges and the
government believed it to be another attempted fraud.
With him out of MCC for seven months, Judge Caproni said it may have just been a mistake. She put off sentencing
Howe, instead putting him on five years probation. If he "stays clean" during that time, it all goes away. If not, he faces
serious time.
In the elevator down after Howe's lawyer, in what she called her last criminal sentencing, said Howe still respects
government service after his lobbying career meltdown, Inner City Press asked Howe what he thought for example of
congestion pricing. He laughed and said it is not needed in Idaho. Meanwhile a shackled prisoner Jones was led into
Judge Caproni's now empty courtroom to plead guilty to selling crack in The Bronx and hiding a gun after a 1999 felony
conviction. That sentencing is set for August 1. Inner City Press and @SDNYLIVE will be there.
