Because He Wasnt BroadcastingA lawyer for attorney Lin Wood late Thursday fought back against a move for additional sanctions against the conservative legal crusader.
A federal judge last week asked Wood to argue why he should not be sanctioned for sharing video of his previous sanctions hearing to an online audience. The previous underlying sanctions hearing was connected to the merits of the so-called Michigan Kraken litigation which sought to prove that former president Donald Trump won the 2020 election and that Joe Biden did not. Though the underlying sanctions hearing was made available online by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Judge Linda V. Parker, a Barack Obama appointee, did not allow the hearing to be broadcast by anyone other than the court, and no one watching the hearing was supposed to record it or otherwise transmit it. An order by Parker laid out the parameters for those in virtual attendance: [t]aking photographs or video recordings in connection with any Judicial Proceeding . . . and the recording or broadcasting of Judicial Proceedings by radio or television or other means is prohibited.
As Law&Crime first reported shortly after the underlying hearing concluded, Wood shared a link on Telegram to a recording which showed a portion of the hearing. The link allowed those viewing Woods Telegram feed to click a play button and to watch the embedded recording without jumping to another site which actually hosted the surreptitious recording.
Judge Parker demanded answers, and Paul J. Stablein, Woods attorney, provided 20 pages worth of explanations and legal arguments on Thursday.
