Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript where an attorney is arguing for bail for their client. The attorney cites two legal precedents, the Bodmer case (2004) and the Khashoggi case (1989), to counter the government's position. The argument focuses on the principle that a foreign national's home country's non-extradition policy should not automatically preclude them from being granted bail in the United States.

1 travel than alleged as to our client, certainly in the past
2 year, and strict release was approved with strict bail
3 conditions.
4 In Bodmer, which was before Judge Scheindlin in 2004,
5 the defendant was a Swiss citizen, and Switzerland had taken
6 the position it would not extradite its citizens for
7 proceedings in the United States. And Judge Scheindlin
8 observed, well, if that becomes the test for bail, then no
9 citizen of Switzerland can ever get bail in the United States.
10 So, too, here. If that's the test for France, then no French
11 citizen, under the government's reasoning, could ever get bail
12 in the United States.
13 And in Bodmer it was even the allegation -- the case
14 was a fraud case -- the allegation was that the defendant who
15 was a Swiss attorney had, according to the government, been
16 opening up Swiss accounts overseas and that that was some form
17 of hiding. Even with all that, the court said what many courts
18 have said in this courthouse, to be addressed in the
19 conditions. Doesn't mean the government has carried its burden
20 of showing there is no combination of conditions.
21 In the Khashoggi case, written by Judge Keenan in
22 1989, this was a person of extraordinary wealth, way more than
23 anything the government alleges that our client has, he was,
24 according to the government, a fugitive, a Saudi citizen who
25 had not been in the United States for three years prior to his
2 year, and strict release was approved with strict bail
3 conditions.
