All right. Ladies and gentlemen, please remember all my admonitions.

As far as the jury is concerned, we will stand in recess until nine o'clock tomorrow. Dr. Lee, you may step down. You are ordered to return tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. All right. Let me see counsel at the side bar with the court reporter, please. Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Scheck.
