Jury instructions and adjournment

Date: Wednesday, November 20, 1996 • Utterances: 4
Judge Fujisaki briefly clarified a ruling on photo authentication for the jury, striking the remainder of a question while allowing the answer 'yes.' After a quick exchange with P. Baker about whether he could finish in the remaining five minutes, the judge adjourned until the following morning.
1 THE COURT:

Ladies and gentlemen, the status of this event here is that the court has allowed the question, was the photograph -- photographs submitted to someone for authentication, answer, yes.

The rest of it is stricken.

Okay. Are you going to be a speed talker?

MR. P. BAKER: I don't think I can do it in five minutes.

2 THE COURT:

I don't like to here that.

MR. P. BAKER: I know.

3 THE COURT:

We'll adjourn then, ladies and gentlemen, till tomorrow at 8:30. Don't talk about the case, don't form or express any opinion.
