The counsel team is actively discussing what, if any, next steps will follow that. 

News4 asked Eisen how Hearn is doing and whether he has been subjected to any adverse attention, including threats.

 There'll be a time and a place to discuss what the experience has been like for him. It has been difficult, as you can imagine, but he's keeping his attitude of fighting back strong,  he said.

 As you can imagine, when the most powerful people in the world say you could be going to prison for up to 10 years, make false claims about you, that's profoundly unsettling,  Eisen said.  But Davey Hearn is a three-time Olympian, multiple times world champion and canoeist. And he is maintaining a fighting attitude. What other choice does he have? He cares about this case obviously for himself, but it's of the utmost importance to our democracy to fight back when innocent people are targeted by the regime.
