Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 757 Filed 08/10/22 Page 16 of 49 1989 LC9VMAXT 1 THE COURT: On scheduling, needless to say, I didn't send you a draft of the charge last night. I think my thinking is if the government rests today or tomorrow, which sounds like what we anticipate, I'll use the remainder of tomorrow, one, to hear the defense motions; and two, for me to work on the charge on my own, having already received your drafts. And then I'll send it to you at some point in advance of a charging conference, which we'll do next week. And again, I'm open to you telling me whether you want to do it in the evenings after testimony or on Saturday. I think really the analysis there depends on what the defense now anticipates as the length of its case. So are you in a position to give any additional estimate as to that? MR. PAGLIUCA: We don't, your Honor. I think we're hoping to take this evening and tomorrow to put those pieces together, and then provide the Court and the government with that analysis. THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Sternheim. MS. STERNHEIM: May I just say, I think it is our thinking at the moment that if we are going to be using the trial days, that our preference would be to Saturday for a charge conference. It seems that it would just be a more focused time. THE COURT: I think really the only reason not to do SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00019140
