#Pollack notes he may file motions concerning Maduro’s role as head of a #SovereignState, & adding that “there are questions about the legality of his #military #abduction,” he adds. If Pollack files some kind of unlawful apprehension motion, that is when the issue will be addressed, as I mentioned earlier, it won’t be addressed today.

#Maduro, having been stopped earlier from speaking freely, is more tentatively testing his limits here in court. He tells the judge that he “would like to ask that my notes be respected and that I be allowed to keep them.” Judge #Hellerstein, sounding a little surprised, says, “I believe you are entitled to keep them.”

Maduro’s lawyer, Barry #Pollack, says he is “not seeking release at this time” on bail but that he may later.
