The Final JCII Pre Trial

Federal Judge Douglas Woodlock told attorneys for the Defense and the Prosecution this morning in Courtroom One of the Moakley Federal Courthouse that there would be no sidebars during the trial of United States v Jasiel Correia II, and that any issues could be handled during scheduled breaks during the day. 

 

Its also possible that one of Correia's parents could be called as a defense witness next month, and could be sequestered from the courtroom as a result. 

That could leave a seat open for a pool reporter, or for more jurors at the Judge's discretion. 

 

Judge Woodlock indicated that anywhere from 14 to as many as 18 members of a jury could hear evidence in the case. 

 

While the trial will be Zoomed, there will be three screens-one facing the judge, one facing the witness box, and and looking out over the defense and prosecution tables. 

 

Attorneys for the Government did ask for a lectern and will likely get one.

 

Witnesses will also replace a mic cover and wipe down the witness box when their testimony has concluded.
