To use this link, you may need to download software to use the platform's videoconferencing features. Participants are directed to test their videoconference setup in advance of the conference-including their ability to access the link above. Defense counsel shall assist the defendant in testing his or her videoconference capability so that the defendant can participate by videoconference if that is feasible.

The Court requests that members of the public consider accessing the conference by telephone, rather than through the Microsoft Teams videoconference platform. While the proceeding is accessible to the public through the Microsoft Teams videoconference platform, the inclusion of many participants on the videoconference platform can reduce the quality of the video stream for the parties and their respective counsel.
SO ORDERED.
