Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that there was inquiry of the clerk or bailiff when the court will be dark. At the outset, when we went through hardship, we gave you a schedule on the back of the hardship declaration. The only substantial changes I would see would be the Thanksgiving holiday and Christmas holidays. If you have some definite plans with regards to Thanksgiving that is going to take you out of town the day before Thanksgiving, or you're going to have any difficulty coming back by Sunday night following Thanksgiving, we'll not change the schedule. Originally we scheduled November 27 through December 2 as Thanksgiving, allowing for long-distance travel that family reunions may call for. I know it's difficult to get air flights both out and back from Los Angeles. Do any of the jurors have those plans in mind?
Would you prefer that it not be changed?
JUROR 78: They took the hardship forms back from us, and at the time, we didn't even know.
The 27TH would be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and the 2nd would be the Monday following Thanksgiving. If you need those as travel days, I will leave it as court recess days.
JUROR 78: The Tuesday after Thanksgiving?
KEY QUOTEThat would be the Wednesday preceding -- before Thanksgiving and the Monday following Thanksgiving. So that would be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Okay. Everybody understand that?
I'll have the bailiff give you a written schedule. And then assuming were's still in session at Christmas, that would be December 23 through January 3. Okay. Other than that, the holidays would be Veteran's Day. The courtroom -- the whole court building is dark. That's November 11. And should this case go into January, January 20 is Dr. Martin Luther King holiday. The court building is dark also on that date.
JUROR 266: What about election?
It's the 5th. We can adjourn half a day, if you like. Normally the voting places are open, I think, till eight o'clock, so I would like to go the whole day.
JUROR 266: That's fine.
KEY QUOTEOkay. All right. Then, we shall see you tomorrow morning at 8:30. You're excused. Don't talk about the case with anyone; don't form or express any opinion; don't do any research. Thank you. Counsel, would you remain.
