Episode 653: Court Orders Defense's 2nd Set Jury Instructions to Be Sealed

In Episode 653, we note that on May 14, 2025 the Defense filed a Second Motion to Seal its Proposed Jury Instructions and that the Court granted this relief in an order dated May 14, 2025. No reason is given why Defense is filing a Second Set of Jury Instructions one month after its (First) Set were due - and had been previously filed under seal. We opine that while the Court continues to seal all jury instructions in this proceeding, no reference has been made by Judge Hippler or the parties that the Court's October 9, 2024 Pre-Trial/Trial Order did not require proposed jury instructions to be filed under seal.
