defendant, the less important it becomes to identify and
restrain each and every asset over which defendants may
exercise some control in order to mitigate risk of flight." So
if the court -- and we have suggested them, but they may be
modified by the court -- can put in place stringent bail
conditions, we don't need to have a side-long, month-long
hearing about my client's assets which is just designed to keep
her in detention. That was an observation by Judge Raggi in
Sabhnani.
Judge, very quickly on the nature and circumstances of
the offense and the weight of the evidence, we don't think,
your Honor, this is the place to litigate legal motions. This
is a bail hearing. It is not the place to litigate complex
legal questions that we will be presenting to your Honor. It's
very soon on the motion schedule, and we thank the court for
agreeing to the schedule. But there are a few things that are
worth pointing out.
We believe there are very significant motions here
that will affect whether this indictment survives at all or the
shape of this indictment and, given the government's
representation that it is not planning to supersede, will
affect the shape of the entire case, or any case at all that
proceeds before the court at trial, if there is a trial. That
is exactly what we submit the court can consider, again, in
exercising its discretion as to the weight of the evidence.
