LITERARY
SDNY, July 8 – The night between
the closing arguments and Judge Furman's
legal instructions to the jury, Kurt
Wheelock went back over his live-tweeted
transcripts of the trial and something
jumped out, here.
Schulte
had asked, on cross, if the witness was
aware that Stuxnet was all over
DEVLAN.
The
Assistant US Attorney had immediately
objected and a sidebar, complete with
white noise, ensued. When they came
back, no more Stuxnet. Objection
sustained.
Kurt
had been at the UN when Stuxnet attacked
Iran's nuclear facilities and then the
world at large. High ranking US
officials had spoken about it, strongly
implying it was theirs. They had never
been charged under the Espionage Act.
(And of course there was Patraeus and
the tip of his spear.)
But
when was Stuxnet still hanging around on
DEVLAN in 2016 when whoever took the
snapshot took it?
Kurt
couldn't help thinking of COVID 19, too.
In the courthouse of the SDNY, for this
trial in July 2022, N-95 masks were
still required, and two jurors had
already been lost to COVID.
If the
deliberations went long, how many more
might be lost? Might another mistrial
loom?
Kurt
prepared, to live tweet the legal
instructions and any questions the
jurors might get out, and for beyond.
