Relationship Details

This legal document, filed by the Government, argues that the defendant housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) has been given sufficient resources to prepare for trial, refuting a defense claim to the contrary. The filing details the defendant's access to discovery materials via hard drives, a dedicated laptop, and a desktop computer, as well as arrangements for regular video and phone calls with her legal counsel. It asserts that these accommodations, even with pandemic-related restrictions, are adequate for trial preparation.

This document is Page 2 of a Government filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, filed 10/15/21) addressing defense complaints regarding legal mail delays at the MDC. The Government argues that a request for 1-day mail turnaround is burdensome given the facility houses 1,700 inmates. It details the timeline of a specific hard drive delivery: sent Oct 11, received Oct 12, delayed Oct 13 due to an 'institutional emergency,' and personally delivered to the defendant by MDC legal counsel on Oct 14, 2021.
