This document is a court transcript from case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, filed on August 10, 2022. A judge explains the decision to extend daily jury deliberations by one hour due to a significant spike in COVID-19 cases from the omicron variant in New York City. The judge's concern is that jurors or trial participants might need to quarantine, which would risk the completion of the trial.

This document is a court transcript from June 29, 2023, capturing a discussion during a sentencing hearing. Counsel Mr. Everdell argues that the jury, not the court, should have determined whether the 2003 or 2004 sentencing guidelines apply, as this is a factual determination tied to when the offense ended and is protected by the Ex Post Facto Clause. The judge is hearing this argument after noting the probation department's recommendation for a 240-month sentence, a downward variance from the calculated range.
