Judge Kaplan said that neither Sam Bankman-Fried or any other defendant has a right to inspect every single piece of discovery in a case.
The US Judge in charge of Sam Bankman-Fried’s case has denied the former FTX CEO’s repeated requests for a temporary release from jail to make adequate preparations ahead of his upcoming trial.
Giving reasons for the refusal, Judge Kaplan said Bankman-Fried’s claim about not getting enough internet access in prison to prepare for his trial fell short, stating that the former FTX boss had “extensive access” after his initial release on bail before the said bail was revoked. According to the District Judge, Bankman-Fried’s legal team could provide necessary materials on hard drives for review to their client in the MDC. Also, Kaplan said that no represented defendant had any right to review and inspect every bit of discovery.
