A brief sidebar in which defense attorney Robert Shapiro withdrew a pending objection. Prosecutor Brian Kelberg then clarified for the record that his upcoming question concerned something asked on June 17th, not any statement made to police. Judge Ito instructed Kelberg to phrase the question carefully before returning to open court.
