thread_title: This needs to be updated, BIG TIME!

message: I have copied the following text from Steven Donziger's page:
Preska was chosen by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to preside over Steven Donziger's trial for criminal contempt. This was unusual as judge's are usually selected randomly. In August 2019, Preska sentenced Donziger to home detention while awaiting trial and ordered the seizure of his passport. He was required to wear a GPS-equipped ankle bracelet. Preska ordered Donziger to post a bail bond of $800,000, which is a record for a misdemeanour case in the US. In May 2020, Preska ruled that Donziger's case would not be heard by a jury, which Donziger had requested. In August 2020, after two other attorney's were unable to appear in the trial, Preska ordered Andrew Frisch, Donziger's former lead defence attorney, to represent him. Martin Garbus, who also represents Donziger but was unable to attend the trial, said a trial with Frisch would not be "a constitutionally protected case" and that "Donziger is being forced to go to trial with a lawyer who doesn't want to be in the case, who doesn't get along with Donziger, and claims that before Donziger goes ahead with the trial he should pay him additional moneys". Donziger's contempt charge and house arrest have been harshly condemned by legal advocates. Lawyer's Rights Watch Canada points out that Donziger has been under house arrest for longer than the six month maximum sentence that contempt of court carries.

message: Preska seems to have issued some controversial rulings regarding the separation of church and state in New York schools which gathered a fair bit of reporting at the time for going against higher-court precedent. From what I can find the articles are mostly OP-eds though, so just curious whether other thinks it should be included. Swaggernagger (talk) 01:35, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
