SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 15 – The media, they say,
is supposed to expose lies and
bring accountability. Wasn't a
reporter in Las Vegas recently
killed and the local official
he'd exposed accused of the
murder?
But the
testimony in the Trevor Milton
trial, of his interviews about
the Nikola Badger pick-up
truck as it already existed
when it was only a sketch,
which Trevor took from a young
designer then tweeted at Elon
Musk, made the media look bad.
Milton has bragged to the
Money Honey, Maria Bartiromo,
about hydrogen in the pick-up
turning out ice water for a
driver's side water fountain.
It was ludicrous, but
interviewer after interviewer
gushed just like a water
fountain. And who had gone
back and issued corrections,
much less mea culpas?
A few
podcasts had done so, but they
weren't being offered into
evidence. Not relevant, Judge
Ramos might say. But the
burden of proof against
corporate media was being
reached. Where would that jury
deliberate?
As
the first week of the trial
wound down, it seemed that
Friday might be less than a
full day - something that was
NOT part of Judge Ramos' plan,
when he said the trial day
would end at 2:30 because
there'd be no real lunch break
and they would sit five days a
week.
(Already another
trial in a smaller courtroom
higher up in 40 Foley, begun
the same day as Milton's, was
taking a break from a Thursday
charging conference to Monday
for the closing arguments. It
was wire fraud, too, but much
simpler. No Money Honey for
email fraud and fake bank
accounts.)
The
prosecutors put in a letter
about why they might break
early, a death in a family and
the need to keep the witness
batting order sequential. But
it wasn't clear if Judge Ramos
would accept it. The
prosecutors could just come up
with more questions for their
witness Dale Prows. Some of it
already seemed repetitive.
Kurt
Wheelock, always on the look
out for water fountain scams,
would have to dig deeper. More
