Judge Ito called a brief 15-minute recess to switch court reporters, delivering the standard jury admonition before excusing the jury to the jury room. Detective Lange, who had apparently been testifying or was about to testify, was told he could step down during the break.

# 1 MS. CLARK:

OKAY.

# 2 THE COURT:

ALL RIGHT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A BRIEF RECESS FOR THE COURT REPORTER AT THIS TIME SO WE CAN SWITCH COURT REPORTERS. PLEASE REMEMBER MY ADMONITION TO YOU. DON'T DISCUSS THE CASE AMONGST YOURSELVES, DON'T FORM ANY OPINIONS ABOUT THE CASE, DON'T LET ANYBODY CONTACT YOU REGARDING THE CASE. ALSO, DON'T CONDUCT ANY DELIBERATIONS UNTIL THE MATTER HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO YOU. ASK THAT YOU STEP BACK INTO THE JURY ROOM AND WE WILL SEE YOU BACK HERE IN ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES. DETECTIVE LANGE, YOU CAN STEP DOWN.
