This legal document, filed by the Government on July 1, 2021, to Judge Alison J. Nathan, argues that statements made to the media by defense appellate counsel, Mr. Markus, violate Local Rule 23.1. The filing specifically cites a recent Op-Ed where Markus compared his client's case to Bill Cosby's, arguing these extrajudicial comments are designed to prejudice potential jurors and interfere with a fair trial. The Government asserts that relief is warranted to prevent further prejudicial statements.
