TRIAL

▲ Day 21 of 167

◀ Cross-examination of Ronald Phillips (part 2) Court back on record ▶

Date: Friday, February 17, 1995 • Utterances: 4

Judge Ito asked Cochran how much time he needed to finish his examination, and Cochran indicated he was nearly done. The judge then instructed the jury on their standard admonitions and called a 10-minute comfort break.

# 1 THE COURT:

MR. COCHRAN, DO YOU HAVE MUCH MORE?

# 2 MR. COCHRAN:

JUST A LITTLE MORE. THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME. I'LL BE ABLE TO FINISH SHORTLY AFTER THAT, YOUR HONOR.

# 3 THE COURT:

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A 10-MINUTE COMFORT BREAK. PLEASE REMEMBER MY ADMONITION TO YOU; DON'T DISCUSS THE CASE AMONGST YOURSELVES, DON'T FORM ANY OPINIONS ON THE CASE, DON'T CONDUCT ANY DELIBERATIONS UNTIL THE MATTER IS SUBMITTED TO YOU, DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU REGARDING THE CASE. AND IF YOU'LL JUST STEP BACK INTO THE JURY ROOM, AND WE'LL CALL YOU BACK IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TAKE A 10-MINUTE RECESS.
