# 2 THE COURT:

All right. Ladies and gentlemen--Mr. Scheck, can you take the boards down, please? All right. Back on the record. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to take our recess for the day as far as the jury is concerned. I want you to rest assured that I'll be working all the rest of the afternoon and all day Saturday and Sunday. Please have a pleasant weekend. But before I let you go, remember all my admonitions to you; don't discuss the case amongst yourselves, form any opinions about the case, conduct any deliberations until the matter has been submitted to you or allow anybody to communicate with you with regard to the case. And as far as the jury is concerned, we'll stand in recess until Monday morning at 9:00 A.M. and, Dr. Lee, you may step down. All right. Thank you. We'll stand in recess.
