EXCLUSIVE: The trial of Christopher Wilkins was one of Judge Cannon’s very first. And 500 pages of trial transcripts and dozen court filings show eerie parallels with the historic case before her.
Unlike U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who’s overseeing his other federal criminal case in Washington and immediately began to consider setting limitations, Cannon has yet to rein him in.Like Trump, the event that landed Christopher Tavorris Wilkins in front of this federal judge started on a bad day in early November. In Wilkins’ case, it was the evening of Nov. 7, 2019, and he was sitting in a green chair inside a federal courtroom in Fort Lauderdale.
“I am going to let the jurors know about this government corruption,” Wilkins told the judge. “I can tell the jurors. It doesn’t matter. We won’t start no trial. So… they will be polluted… that would sabotage the trial as well. So, I will show them everything.” “The court is not going to permit you to introduce totally collateral, irrelevant subject matter,” Cannon countered.
“I want to remind you, Mr. Wilkins, that it is the court’s intention to ensure a safe and orderly proceeding. You indicated during the pretrial hearing on January 14th that you would, ‘sabotage the trial’ and ‘pollute the jurors,’ so I want to be very clear that there will be no allowance for disruptive behavior or violation of court orders,” she said, adding that if he acted up, he would “be removed from the courtroom to observe the trial via Zoom.
