The court reconvenes at 1:30 PM after a noon recess. Judge Ito confirms which counsel will handle the next witness (Mr. Berris), and Cochran requests to raise a matter about that witness before he is brought in. Because the jury is not present, Ito notes they can address it on the record rather than at sidebar.

# 2 THE COURT: All right. I will be in chambers, counsel.
