All right. Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you have a seat. All right. Let the record reflect we've been rejoined by all the members of our jury panel. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
THE JURY: Good morning.
I don't know quite how to tell you this. You have a rather unusual distinction as a sequestered jury. As you know, you've been sequestered since mid-January, and as of yesterday, you have surpassed the amount of time that the mansion jury, if you recollect from 20 years ago, was in sequestration. So some kind of a dubious record I'm sure. In talking to some of you individually and in observing you, I know that you are very tough and tenacious group of people. I know that you've made a commitment to see this matter through and I know that you are disappointed with the delays that we've had, but I'm sure after I've tried to explain them to you, you understand that there's certain things that just have to be taken up out of your presence and that take a substantial amount of time unfortunately. I want you to know that I've expressed again my concern to the lawyers for both sides that we move this case along at a little faster pace. Before me right now, there is a very significant legal issue that I'm going to have to spend a considerable amount of time considering outside your presence, but I'm going to be doing that this Friday afternoon and I anticipate working on these matters over the weekend both Saturday and Sunday so that we don't take up jury time for those matters. I want you to know we're very cognizant of the demands that we've made upon you. I know that this has not been an easy experience for any of you. Probably fun for about the first eight hours. Then after that, it became real tough. But each of you has shown us by your endurance and by your cheerfulness every day when you come in here that you're still with us. But I want you to know we appreciate the burden we've placed upon you and the demands and restrictions that we've placed upon you. This is much wore than being in the army I'm sure from your perspective. But I want you to know that each and every person involved in the Prosecution and the Defense in this case appreciates your sacrifices and they will keep that in mind in the future as they prepare their examinations of witnesses and will hopefully keep their examinations to what is absolutely necessary. All right. Having said that, also, Miss Clark, one of the lead Prosecutors, is not available today. However, the Prosecution has decided to proceed in her absence, and she can read the transcript and/or see it on TV to catch up with us. All right. Dr. Lee, would you resume the witness stand, please.
Yes, your Honor.
Henry C. Lee, the witness on the stand at the time of the evening adjournment, resumed the stand and testified further as follows:
--is again on the witness stand undergoing direct examination by Mr. Scheck. All right. Good morning again, Dr. Lee.
All right. Doctor, you are reminded, sir, that you are still under oath. Mr. Scheck, you may continue with your direct examination.
