Summary
This document is an excerpt from a court transcript dated August 10, 2022, discussing the scheduling of a trial's jury deliberation. An unnamed speaker (likely the judge) explains the necessity of the current schedule, citing a significant increase in COVID-19 omicron variant cases in New York City, which poses a risk to trial completion and could lead to a mistrial. Mr. Pagliuca, addressing 'Your Honor,' expresses concern about jurors deliberating through the weekend and New Year's, arguing against retracting a prior commitment from the Court to give them those days off, suggesting deliberation only during the workweek.

"As I said this morning, I conclude this is necessary because we are seeing an astronomical spike in the number of COVID-positive cases in New York City due to the highly contagious omicron variant. We are, very simply, at a vastly different place regarding the pandemic than we were only a week ago. We now face a high and daily escalating risk that jurors and/or necessary trial participants would need to quarantine, thus disrupting trial and putting at risk our ability to complete this trial. Put simply, I conclude that proceeding this way is the best chance to both give the jury as much time as they need and to avoid a mistrial as a result of the omicron variant."Source

"Your Honor, our only issue would be telling them to deliberate through the weekend and New Year's. I don't think it's unreasonable to have them deliberate through the remainder of the week, but given the fact that the Court told them initially that they would have those days off, I don't think we should go back on that commitment entirely. I do think that it is appropriate that they deliberate through the workweek and then have the weekend off if they so choose. That's my position, your Honor."Source
