Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (likely from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial appeal, given the case number 22-1426 and attorney Mr. Everdell). The Judge is explaining a decision to extend jury deliberations by one hour each day due to an 'astronomical spike' in COVID-19 (Omicron variant) cases in New York City, aiming to complete the trial before jurors or participants are forced to quarantine. Mr. Everdell acknowledges the ruling and declines to argue the point at that moment.

10 different place regarding the pandemic than we were only one

12 jurors and/or trial participants may need to quarantine, thus
13 disrupting trial and putting at risk our ability to complete
14 this trial. Accordingly, extending deliberations by an hour
15 gives the jury more time each day to continue to engage in its
16 thoughtful deliberations.

21 reached.
