Judge Lamberth also demanded in April that “defense counsel shall include an explanation of his alleged instruction to his client to dispose of evidence of her non-compliance,” after Powell told the court she had thrown the mask away on his orders. Michael Engle, her lawyer, told Politico in a statement at the time: “I have to review the matter with my client and file a response with the Court. However, I can state with absolute certainty that the characterization of any legal advice I may have provided to my client is not accurate.”

Now, a Monday filing from Engle states that Powell had “seen stories about a singer, Lana Del Rey, who fashioned a clear plastic barrier under a see-through fabric for a public book signing event.” Engle also wrote that the “creation and use of the mask at issue was not designed to mock the court or its release condition,” adding that Powell made a “poor choice in wearing the mask at issue, however it was not done with a bad intent.”

The filing also stated that “members of her community who have interacted with her at work and at religious services” could attest that since the mesh mask incident, she’d only worn masks that “are clearly and obviously compliant.”

Coincidentally, both Lana Del Rey and Powell wore their mesh face masks in bookstores. Following backlash for her sartorial choices, Lana tweeted:
