The judge briefly held proceedings outside the jury's presence after a miscommunication with the clerk about a defense request. It turned out the defense attorney Blasier's matter was intended for before the next witness, not at that moment, so the jury was promptly brought in.

# 2 THE COURT:

The clerk told me Mr. Blasier had something he wanted to bring up outside the presence of the jury; that's why we didn't have the jury.
