Affected person readers, Merchan’s directions had been revealed, and I’ve ideas. On the other hand, I’m going to attend till I end the entirety else to publish them, as a result of for all I do know the jury will go back a verdict.
Trump (R) (Bragg/Merchan): “Trump hush money trial live updates: Jurors resume deliberations” [Associated Press]. AP’s are living weblog: “The jury in Donald Trump’s hush money trial has resumed deliberations after asking to rehear potentially crucial testimony about the alleged hush money scheme at the heart of the case. The 12-person jury met for about 4 1/2 hours of deliberations on Wednesday without reaching a verdict.” And: “On Wednesday the jury had asked Judge Merchan to reread his instructions to them. Merchan subsequently asked the jurors to clarify whether they wanted all of the instructions or only part of them. The judge said Thursday that he received another jury note, explaining that the jurors want to specifically hear the description of how they are to consider the evidence and what inferences can be drawn from the facts. They also want to hear the description of the law for the charge at issue in the case. Merchan estimates that’s about 30 pages of instructions that he’ll have to reread.” • Construct of that what you’ll!
“Jury Instructions & Charges” (PDF) [Judge Juan Merchan, New York State Unified Court System]. Merchan’s directions are 55 pages lengthy. It seems that, Merchan isn’t allowed to provide the jury a magazine (therefore their request to have them learn aloud to them once more). In the end, Merchan’s directions aren’t exempt from pastime. Let me get started with an epigraph:
“The Law is the true embodiment. Of everything that’s excellent. It has no kind of fault or flaw. And I, my Lords, embody the Law” –Gilbert and Sullivan, Iolanthe
I’m reminded of G&S by way of this passage from the transcript. Merchan sooner than he launches his Directions:
I’m, alternatively, no longer essentially being truthful to Merchan. He constantly makes use of the commitment “our law,” which might indicate the high concept that the legislation applies to and is for the good thing about all people, or will have to achieve this. At the alternative hand, Merchan may be the usage of “our law” precisely as kind Democrats utility “our democracy.” Given lawfare, the ultimate could also be much more likely.
Now let me progress to a few extracts, helpfully annotated. A technical topic, web page 22:
[1] Merchan quotes from the Information to Untouched York Proof, 6.10. I’ve to suppose that with enough quantity month, I may get a hold of matching boilerplate for all of the directions.
On “Accessorial Liability,” p. 25:
And:
[1] To this layperson, this perception of “unanimity” since odd (“I don’t care who broke the vase or who hid the pieces”), even though I’m positive it comes from someplace within the Information. However surely “acting in concert” maximizes the trails to conviction (no longer that I might be expecting a just right, or no less than an efficient, prosecutor to do anything).
On “Intent to Defraud,” p. 29 (as I realize it MR SUBLIMINAL Hole laughter, the “intent to defraud” applies to the trade data, and to not the “other crime”):
[1] As, for instance, a candidate’s misrepresentations in an election. Splendid for the Censorship Commercial Complicated, whilst you consider it. Who would have concept 5 Pinocchios from Glenn Kessler may finally end up as against the law?
[2] Underlining that “election interference” may theorized as fraud. (If true, this concept is surely arbitrarily carried out within the Condition of Untouched York; RussiaGate, Clinton’s electronic mail server, and the suppression of Hunter Biden’s computer may all be regarded as prison.)
On “Intent to Commit or Conceal Another Crime” (that is the guts of the topic: the idea that bootstraps 34 trade data misdemeanors into 34 felonies; the “other crime” (“object offense”) that the trade data have been falsified in assistance of (if falsified they have been), pp. 29 et seq.:
[1] As soon as once more, the trails to conviction are maximized.
[1] As I confirmed right here (early), the “object offense” didn’t seem in District Lawyer Bragg’s fees, however advanced — with a splendid trade in of puzzlement right here and within the press in most cases — during the trial, a lot assisted by way of Merchan in his pre-trial ruling (as I display right here). To this layperson, it sort of feels very similar to the Defendant used to be no longer knowledgeable of the costs in opposition to him (SIxth Modification: “to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation“). Now, Bragg might argue that the Defendant was informed; the “accusation” used to be the trade data violation, and the “other crimes” have been simply icing at the cake, because it have been. In all probability “our law” is ambiguous in that regard. If this is the case, the topic of whether or not changing misdemeanors into felonies calls for “notice of accusation” could also be settled in an attraction.
[2] “Promote or prevent” is the election interference section (and not anything on this case is unhidden from commonplace campaigning, to my easy thoughts, and this contains trade data stuff just like the Clinton marketing campaign laundering cost for the Steele file via Marc Elias’s extremely respected legislation company).
[3] So some member of the alleged conspiracy should function, however no longer essentially the Defendant, as soon as once more maximizing the trails to conviction.
[4] One query why the Defendant used to be by no means charged with conspiracy. That is the fee of conspiracy.
[1] This “Merchan’s Chinese Menu: One from Column A, one from Column B… The concept of “unanimity” turns out to tackle odd modes in Merchan’s court docket.
[2] Turley argues: Think there are 3 “unlawful means” (the item offenses) A, B, and C. A verdict the place 4 jurors voted for A, 4 for B, and four for C could be handled as “unanimous”; to this layperson, an absurd consequence. However I believe this argument may also be made extra pointed: The jurors who vote for A should essentially imagine that the Defendant isn’t accountable past moderately uncertainty of offenses B and C, and so with the difference jurors. So we can have a verdict the place 12 jurors don’t imagine within the Defendants guilt past an inexpensive uncertainty of anybody object offense. That moves me as an excessively unholy precedent and reliable of attention on attraction. From Thomas P Gallanis, “Reasonable Doubt and the History of the Criminal Trial,” The College of Chicago Regulation Assessment: “Reasonable doubt was originally a protection not for criminal defendants, but rather for the ‘souls of the jurors’ (p 3). Reasonable doubt was “designed to make conviction easier” by way of reassuring worried jurors that they wouldn’t be damned for balloting to spray the defendant’s blood (p 4 (emphasis unnoticed)). Jurors may safely convict so long as their hesitations didn’t arise to the extent of cheap uncertainty.” So what’s the environment of the person juror’s soul when all of the jury votes to convict, however with out unamimity as to the reason for the conviction?
[3] Those are the the 3 “unlawful means” proposed by way of the Prosecution. I presume that “other” trade data does no longer come with any of the 34 trade data within the fee, so I don’t assume that merchandise (2) is essentially round, or “loops back on itself,” in an unlimited regress, however with out explanation, it would cruel that data 1-17 would fall below the trade data offense, and data 18-34 may well be redeployed as object offenses…. One wonders what mode of “unanimity” could be required to kind this, if this is the case (however see on “Falsification of Other Business Records” underneath):
At the first of the 3 illegal manner, “The Federal Election Campaign Act,” p. 32:
[1] Departure apart the query of whether or not Federal regulations will have to be enforced on the environment stage, and escape apart Merchan’s curious refusal to let the protection professional on FECA testify, the unhidden time table here’s to induce that NMI’s “catch and kill scheme,” which suppressed information tales, used to be no longer a “legitimate press function.” On the other hand, suppressing information tales is clearly a valid press serve as, and just a kid of six would assume in a different way (one thinks without delay of The Untouched York Instances suppressing James Risen’s tale on warrantless surveillance till next Bush used to be safely elected).
On the second one, “Falsification of Other Business Records,” p. 33:
This closes out my theorizing on limitless regression in alternative data, above. Too unholy! I haven’t mastered the property on those paperwork, however Merchan’s specificity makes me assume that this “object offense”) is probably the most bad to the Defendant. (After all, I don’t imagine there are object offenses, as a result of iff the preliminary counts 1-34 all pertain to the bills for Cohen which are allegedly no longer for felony services and products, they if truth be told have been, as a result of to my easy thoughts. a felony carrier is one thing you pay a attorney to do, and thus there is not any number one offense first of all.)
At the 3rd, “Violation of Tax Laws,” p. 34:
[1] If that is the one illegal manner, I will see no less than one hold-out being resistant to jacl up 34 misdemeanors to felonies according to it.
On “The Charged Crimes,” p 27:
“Verdict Sheet,” p. 53:
[1] Those are the counts in Bragg’s indictment; each and every of the 34 counts is a independent trade data offense.
[2] Realize the checkboxes that Merchan does no longer come with:
No doubt the balloting family has a fascinating in figuring out which object offense led to Trump’s misdemeanors (if any) to be transformed into felonies. An absurdly minor tax violation? The a lot bruited and salacious catch-and-kill scheme? A marketing campaign finance violation? Merchan, it sounds as if, has refuse take care of the electorate. I might speculate that — with the conceivable help of the flex-net running the lawfare in this undertaking — having maximized the trails to conviction with capacious definitions of unanimity, Merchan would favor to not “show his work,” and expose how the ones definitions labored out in truth. Whether or not that is fields for attraction I don’t know, however I to find it disastrous. “Our law”! “Our democracy”!

Transmission: H5N1
An all-too-plausible situation:
This does suppose airborne transmission of the mutated fowl flu, however that’s by no means unreasonable.
Sequelae: H5N1
“The neuropathogenesis of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5Nx viruses in mammalian species including humans” [Cell]. “In mammals, the development of HPAI H5Nx virus-associated neurological disease can occur without any evidence of respiratory disease. For example, virus replication within the olfactory mucosa can result in neuroinvasion and spread throughout the CNS, without virus replication in other parts of the upper or lower respiratory tract. This comes with diagnostic challenges, as respiratory samples can test negative, despite efficient virus replication in the CNS. Therefore, it is important to increase awareness among veterinarians, health care workers, and neurologists to be vigilant about HPAI H5Nx viruses causing neurological disease, without the presence of overt respiratory disease.” • Oy. Worst case situation: Wastewater trying out makes use of Influenza A as a proxy for H5N1 as a result of — and I do know this will likely amaze you — CDC can not take a look at for H5N1 in particular. Influenza A is up, nevertheless it will have to no longer be:
This isn’t flu season. Influenza A will have to no longer be expanding this month of past.
This isn’t commonplace. https://t.co/ngCysAadRw

What if the Influenza A numbers are in point of fact a sign for H5N1. Now, now we have examined for signs H5N1 within the respiration tract, the usage of nasal swabs on dairy farm employees, and effects are low. However what if H5N1 has been spreading silently within the central frightened gadget, for which no person is trying out? (Deny superspreading conceivable this fashion, thankfully, however what an unsatisfied result.) Any fowl flu experts who can blast this concept ailing, please achieve this.
Elite Maleficence
“World Health Organization overturns dogma on airborne diseases, but the CDC may not act on it” [Daily Montanan]. “The WHO concluded that airborne transmission occurs as sick people exhale pathogens that remain suspended in the air, contained in tiny particles of saliva and mucus that are inhaled by others. While it may seem obvious, and some researchers have pushed for this acknowledgment for more than a decade, an alternative dogma persisted — which kept health authorities from saying that COVID-19 was airborne for many months into the pandemic. Specifically, they relied on a traditional notion that respiratory viruses spread mainly through droplets spewed out of an infected person’s nose or mouth. These droplets infect others by landing directly in their mouth, nose, or eyes — or they get carried into these orifices on droplet-contaminated fingers. Although these routes of transmission still happen, particularly among young children, experts have concluded that many respiratory infections spread as people simply breathe in virus-laden air…. Peg Seminario, an occupational health and safety specialist in Bethesda, Maryland, welcomed the shift after years of resistance from health authorities. ‘The dogma that droplets are a major mode of transmission is the ‘flat Earth’ position now,’ she said. ‘Hurray! We are finally recognizing that the world is round.’ The change puts fresh emphasis on the need to improve ventilation indoors and stockpile quality face masks before the next airborne disease explodes. …. Traditional beliefs on droplet transmission help explain why the WHO and the CDC focused so acutely on hand-washing and surface-cleaning at the beginning of the pandemic. Such advice overwhelmed recommendations for N95 masks that filter out most virus-laden particles suspended in the air…. However, a committee advising the CDC [HICPAC] appears poised to brush aside the updated science when it comes to its pending guidance on health care facilities…. The CDC’s advisory committee is comprised primarily of infection control researchers at large hospital systems, while the WHO consulted a diverse group of scientists looking at many different types of studies… [Julian Tang, a clinical virologist at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, who advised the WHO on the report] expects resistance to the WHO report. ‘Infection control people who have built their careers on this will object,’ he said. ‘It takes a long time to change people’s way of thinking.’” • And 4 years isn’t lengthy enough quantity, it sounds as if. We’ll must pry saggy blues out of HICPAC‘s chilly, lifeless arms….

The emergence and ongoing spread of AMR pathogens is a challenging public health issue. Recent evidence showed that probiotics and prebiotics may play a role in decolonizing drug-resistant pathogens by enhancing the colonization resistance in the gut. This review aims to analyze available evidence from human-controlled trials to determine the effect size of probiotic interventions in decolonizing AMR pathogenic bacteria from the gut….
