在针对被控白宫记者协会晚宴枪手科尔·艾伦是否应在刑事审判前继续被羁押的听证会上,美国地方法官莫西拉·乌帕迪亚亚斥责联邦检察官,称即便艾伦已同意继续羁押,检方仍执意推进相关程序。
检方与法官的这场交锋发生在乌帕迪亚亚指示律师前往法官席商议检方推动艾伦羁押案的过程中。在场的媒体记者和公众无法听清对话内容,但哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取了周四听证会的 transcripts,其中记录了这段交流。
“我不知道这里到底是怎么回事。我猜你们是想向法庭之外的某些受众展示你们的案情,”乌帕迪亚亚对检察官们说道,“我不想让这场听证会变成一场闹剧。我现在不想在证据开示问题上引发大规模争执。”
负责艾伦案件的检察官乔斯林·巴兰坦告诉法官,检方的调查已经开展了五天,并将持续向辩方移交相关信息。
“在预审听证会前,把你们能提交的材料都交给他们就行。好了,就这么办,”乌帕迪亚亚对巴兰坦说道。下一次听证会定于5月11日举行。
法官提出,此案可能存在“重大问题,甚至可能涉及部分国家安全文件”。
“但我不想在公开庭审记录中就你们掌握哪些文件展开全面讨论,”乌帕迪亚亚表示,“你们双方可能都不想在公开法庭上进行这类讨论。”
她下令司法部在次月听证会召开前,“尽其所能”向艾伦的律师提交相关材料。
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)最先报道了法官的这番言论。
31岁的艾伦被控企图暗杀总统以及两项枪支罪名,目前尚未作出抗辩。
联邦当局指控,艾伦携带两把枪支和多把刀具,冲过白宫记者协会晚宴的安检关卡,并向一名安保人员开枪,随后被联邦执法人员逮捕。当时特朗普总统正身处楼下楼层,一同在场的还有多名高级政府官员和约2600名宾客。
在周四听证会前,检方曾敦促法官下令艾伦在审判前继续被羁押,并在法庭文件中辩称,罪行的严重性足以支持继续羁押他。
辩方律师在提交的文件中主张应释放艾伦,但艾伦的辩护律师之一特齐拉·阿贝在听证会开场时向法庭表示,艾伦已同意继续羁押。
另一名检察官查尔斯·琼斯敦促法庭继续推进羁押听证会,并告知乌帕迪亚亚,检方希望向法庭提交更多信息。但法官否决了这一提议。
“被告已经同意被羁押,他实质上已经认可了你们的动议。你们补充信息是要给谁看?”她问道,并补充道:“既然被告已经同意你们的动议,此刻检方再将额外信息纳入庭审记录,目的何在?”
乌帕迪亚亚表示,继续推进这场听证会是“低效且不必要的”。
“我敢保证,如果被告日后对自己的羁押提出异议,这个问题会被提交给另一位法官,不管是地区法院法官还是另一位地方法官,或是我本人,你们都得再完整陈述一遍整个案情,”她对琼斯说道。
听证会结束数小时后,负责华盛顿特区艾伦案件起诉工作的美国检察官珍妮娜·皮罗发布了一段新视频,她称视频展示了这名涉嫌枪手在开枪前冲过记者晚宴场外安检点的画面。
检察官还向法庭提交了宴会厅外区域、执法人员缴获的枪支弹药,以及执法人员称艾伦在华盛顿希尔顿酒店租住的房间内发现的物品的照片。

Judge rebukes prosecutors for moving forward with detention proceedings for accused correspondents’ dinner gunman

During a hearing on whether accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen should remain detained ahead of a criminal trial, U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya scolded federal prosecutors for pushing to move forward with the proceedings even though Allen agreed to remain in custody.
The exchange between prosecutors and the judge occurred when Upadhyaya directed lawyers to approach the bench to discuss the government’s effort to push its case for Allen’s detention. Members of the press and public in attendance could not hear the conversation, but it was included in a transcript of Thursday’s proceedings that was obtained by CBS News.
“I don’t know what’s going on here. I know that you want to present your case, I guess, to some audience other than the Court,” Upadhyaya told the prosecutors. “I don’t want this to turn into a circus. I don’t want to have a whole big fight over discovery right now.”
Jocelyn Ballantine, one of the prosecutors working on Allen’s case, told the judge that the government is five days into its investigation and would continue turning over information to the defense.
“Just give them what you have got that you can hand over before the preliminary hearing. Okay. That’s it,” Upadhyaya told Ballantine. The next hearing is set for May 11.
The judge raised the prospect that there could be “significant issues and possibly some national security documents.”
“But I don’t want to get into a whole discussion on the record about which documents you have,” Upadhyaya said. “Neither one of you may want to have that discussion on the record in open court.”
She ordered the Justice Department to “produce what it can” to Allen’s lawyers ahead of the hearing next month.
CNN first reported the judge’s comments.
Allen, 31, has been charged with attempting to assassinate the president and two gun charges. He has not yet entered a plea.
Federal authorities have alleged that Allen — armed with two guns and multiple knives — sprinted through a security checkpoint for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last Saturday and shot at an officer, before being apprehended by federal law enforcement. President Trump was present one floor below, along with several top administration officials and some 2,600 guests.
Prosecutors had urged the judge ahead of Thursday’s hearing to order Allen to remain in custody in the lead-up to a trial, arguing in court papers that the seriousness of the charges warranted his continued detention.
While defense lawyers said in filings that Allen should be released, Tezira Abe, one of Allen’s attorneys, told the court at the start of the hearing that he conceded to detention.
Charles Jones, another prosecutor, urged the court to move forward with the detention hearing and told Upadhyaya that the government wanted to present additional information to the court. But the judge rejected the effort.
“The defendant is agreeing to be detained. He’s essentially conceding your motion. What audience is your supplemental information for?” she asked, adding “What is the purpose of the government putting additional information on the record at this point given that the defendant is agreeing to your motion?”
Upadhyaya said moving forward with the hearing would be “inefficient.”
“I guarantee you that if the defendant challenges his detention in the future, and this issue is raised before another judge, whether it’s the district judge or another magistrate judge, or me, you would be doing your exact same presentation all over again,” she told Jones.
Hours after the hearing, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, whose office in Washington, D.C., is prosecuting Allen, released a new video that she said showed the suspected attacker running through the security checkpoint outside of the correspondents’ dinner.
Prosecutors also provided to the court images of the area outside the ballroom, firearms and ammunition recovered by law enforcement and items found inside the hotel room that law enforcement said Allen rented at the Washington Hilton.
