Stowaway on Paris Flight Released Under Strict Conditions

Svetlana Dali, a 57-year-old U.S. permanent resident, was released from federal custody with strict pretrial conditions after being charged with boarding a New York-to-Paris flight as a stowaway.

Unveiling the Inner Workings of Trump's D.C. Judge

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside over former President Donald Trump's trial next year, recently handled a trial involving a defendant charged with breaching the Capitol on January 6. Chutkan probed potential jurors' feelings about Trump and his election lies, dealt with evidence-sharing disputes, and reprimanded a defendant for violating pretrial release conditions. Observations from the trial provide insights into Chutkan's approach to key trial issues. Chutkan has already rejected attempts by Jan. 6 defendants to claim that they believed Trump authorized their actions. She also emphasized the importance of jurors setting aside personal opinions and biases. Chutkan's strict adherence to pretrial conditions and her handling of evidence disputes may have implications for Trump's trial. Additionally, Chutkan demonstrated a commitment to punctuality, juror comfort, and a lighthearted demeanor during the trial.
