McConnell Wants To Plead Guilty to Child Porn But Declines CARES Act Consent to Virtual

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 27 – Michael McConnell wants to plead guilty to child pornography charges - but only in person. 

 On August 26 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis A. Kaplan held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

     Judge Kaplan asked for the status of the case. AUSA Alexander Li said he was told by the Magistrate last week that the Magistrates Court is not taking in-person pleas at this time. 

 Judge Kaplan asked if McConnell would consent to a virtual plea.

This was met by the argument that the circumstances needed for this, under the CARES Act, weren't met in this case.

   Judge Kaplan said that he would be able to make the finding, but only if McConnell consented. Did he?  

No, his lawyer said.

And so an in-person plea is set for September 23 at 3 pm, in person in SDNY Courtroom 21B in 500 Pearl Street.

The case is US v. McConnell, 19-cr-647 (Kaplan).
