The court conducted routine administrative proceedings while the substantive work occurred in an in-chambers conference focused on the prosecution's obligation to disclose rebuttal witnesses and evidence before a holiday weekend. The defense pressed for immediate disclosure of potential rebuttal witnesses and enhanced photographic evidence—including images of the gloves, socks, and walkway—along with photomicrographs from the sock examination. The prosecution identified several potential rebuttal witnesses and committed to producing available materials that afternoon, with a follow-up status conference set for the next morning.
