Theranos Trial Has Buddhist Juror Leaving But Carreyrou Coming Back Drop Out Cites Ozy

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 16 –  The Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos trial has much to recommend it. Mad Dog Mattis spinning, and many podcasts covering it weekly.

 One of the main ones went small for two weeks but should be back on October 21, promising scoops.

 On September 30 journalist John Carreyrou of the WSJ filed a motion trying to get off Holmes' witness list, or for an exemption so he can nevertheless enter the courtroom. Alongside those legal issues, there's this from the motion returnable October 18: 

"The Supreme Court has long recognized that the press and public enjoy a First Amendment  “right of access to criminal trials.” Globe Newspaper Co., 457 U.S. at 604-05 (emphasis removed).  Steeped in Anglo-American jurisprudence is the principle that “throughout its evolution, the trial  has been open to all who cared to observe,” as criminal trials are “presumptively open.” Richmond  Newspapers, Inc. v. Virginia, 448 U.S. 555, 564, 575 (1980). Indeed, a trial courtroom is “a public  place where the people generally – and representatives of the media – have a right to be present.”  Id. at 578. 8 Carreyrou does not suggest that the Court has entirely shut down or closed the trial in this  action. Far from it; the Court has made efforts to ensure general access. But, unless he is  exempted, Carreyrou will be the only member of the news media especially barred from attending  the trial and reporting firsthand on its proceedings."   

For Inner City Press, the only media banned from the United Nations and for 1302 days now, it also stands in contrast to the recent R.Kelly trial in EDNY in Brooklyn, where ALL media and public were banned from the courtroom, with (as Judge Davila has for some reason done in US v. Holmes) no listen-only call in line.  

  Now coverage of the Holmes trial, for example by The Dropout, details Juror 4 pulling out for religious conviction by Alternate 2 staying on, as well as analogies to the Ozy Media flame out, and Facebook whistleblower.

  The trial coverage can also be compared, at SDNY, with the lower profile fraud trial of Neil Cole of Iconix for inflating earnings and selling $28 million of stock (Inner City Press song here), and now Lev Parnas (song here, and sidearm threat podcast, and Substack on racist video-gate).

Carreyrou will be back to a weekly podcast, after a two minute re-launch trailer this week. We'll have more on these issues.
