All right. Back on the record in the Simpson matter. All parties are again present. The jury is not present. All right. Deputy Magnera, let's have the jurors, please.

Your Honor, with regard to our earlier--with regard to our discussion at side bar, the court I think indicated that perhaps the People should subpoena their witnesses around the 30th of August for rebuttal?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your Honor, I think maybe the court is aware of the timing of this, that we filed our points and authorities in response to the initial proffer made by the Defense.

What I wanted to ask the court is whether it would prefer that we file a response to those points and authorities, because obviously our papers couldn't be responsive--they were filed simultaneously--to the Defense points and authorities in writing, or orally argue it?

Well, that is up to you, but if you are going to do it, you need to file it by Friday close of business, noon.

Okay. Okay. We will do our best to--

Because obviously this is going to consume my entire weekend.

Right, right. Just to offer some ray of hope, because I personally am very upset about the extension of time of this case, I would--and I apologize to the court for losing my temper earlier this morning. The extended time and delay--

I agree, your Honor. I'm certainly not arguing with the court. I'm apologizing to the court.

Just an observation; not a criticism.

Yes, and I'm going to try and rein in my personal aggravation at things we can't help, but by--

We are all tired.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please be seated. The record should reflect that we have been rejoined by all the members of our jury panel again. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. All right. The Defense may call their next witness. Mr. Cochran.
