Government threw 4TB of evidence at Proud Boys defense team

[FelineOverlord]

Their defense attorneys are panicking. Can't say I blame them.

Judge: "We're not going to have trial by ambush."

3. The prosecution is responsible to provide the defense with all discoverable materials

The prosecution is not, however, bound to tell the defense what use any bit of evidence may or may not be put to during the trial. Better get authorization from your clients to hire a whole bunch more attorneys to go through it all.

4. Those Proud Boys better become Meek Boys... real fast.

They better roll over on each other, tell all they know, and take a plea deal.

8. DOJ knows...

…if they have 250,000 documents and only turn over, 249,999…the Republican talking point is going to be “DOJ withholds required discovery from Proud Boys defense team”. Snd it’ll be a mess at trial. Discovery rules are the rules snd they’re there for a reason.

Yeah…4TB is a lot of data but what the hell did the defense attorney expect, that DOJ was going to court based on a 9 page PowerPoint???

If ya can’t drink from the firehose, don’t wrap your lips around the nozzle.
