JUDGE NATHAN: Please be seated. We have a verdict. I'm going to bring in the jury in a moment. I'm going to direct everyone in this courtroom and the overflow courtrooms to remain seated, quiet, and calm during the reading of the verdict. I do intend to poll the jury. Anyone who is disruptive in any way will be removed by the marshals and court security officers, so I assume and expect everyone will behave accordingly. Thank you very much. We'll bring in the jury.

JUROR: We have.

JUDGE NATHAN: All right. And I have received it in an envelope. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am about to read the verdict. After I do so, I'll ask each of you by your juror number if this is your verdict. I will ask you to pass the microphone so that you can be heard in responding to this. Count One: Guilty.

30

MS. MOE: No, your Honor.

32

JUDGE NATHAN: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I will now dismiss you from your jury service in this matter. You are now free to discuss this case with anyone if you like, or not discuss the case if that's what you would like. If you do discuss the case with anyone, you should share only your experience. You should respect the privacy of the deliberation process. Please do not share the views of any other jurors. Furthermore, you must not reveal the names of any other jurors since I have permitted you to remain anonymous, nor may you reveal any information that I ordered be maintained under seal, including the identities of any anonymous witnesses. Those are my orders in the case. All materials, notes, the instructions, everything that you've left each night, all of that must remain in the jury room. Members of the jury, let me say my sincere thanks on behalf of the court and the parties and myself for your attention, for your time, and for your service. You all served with diligence, despite a demanding schedule, despite the pandemic. I'm very grateful to each and every one of you for your service to this court. Members of the jury, thank you. You are dismissed. THE DEPUTY CLERK: All rise.

JUDGE NATHAN: Please be seated. The completed verdict form will be marked as Court Exhibit No. 21. Counsel, tell me if you'd like to set a briefing schedule. Also, I would typically order the production of the probation report, and we could discuss a sentencing date, but I'm happy to hear from you on that, if you like.

35

MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, as to a briefing schedule, I think maybe it would make sense for us to confer and we can write a letter to the Court proposing a schedule.

36

JUDGE NATHAN: Okay. Would you like me to order the preparation of the presentence report or to wait?

37

MS. STERNHEIM: We would request that you wait, Judge. I also have a request -- I apologize -- given the COVID issue, I would request that the Court endorse an order so that Ms. Maxwell gets a booster. She has not received that as of yet, and the incidents of COVID are rising dramatically at the facility.

38

JUDGE NATHAN: My understanding -- I checked on this this morning -- is that it is available at MDC, so I will certainly look into it.

39

MS. STERNHEIM: Thank you.

40

JUDGE NATHAN: Thank you. Anything further from the government?

41

MS. MOE: No, your Honor. Thank you.

42

JUDGE NATHAN: From the defense.

43

MS. STERNHEIM: No, thank you.

44

JUDGE NATHAN: All right. Thank you, everyone. We are adjourned. THE LAW CLERK: All rise. o0o
