▲ Day 23 of 167

◀ Cross-examination of Detective Tom Lange (afternoon, part 8) Morning session opening ▶

Date: Wednesday, February 22, 1995 • Utterances: 14

Brief end-of-day session held outside the jury's presence to check on outstanding matters before adjournment. Attorneys discussed a few unresolved issues informally — including something referred to as 'the packages' — but agreed nothing needed to go on the record that day. Court recessed at 4:10 PM until the following morning.

# 2 THE COURT:

LET THE RECORD REFLECT THE JURORS HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM THE COURTROOM. ALL RIGHT. MR. HODGMAN, MR. SCHECK -- AND, MRS. ROBERTSON, WOULD YOU GET THAT TAPE FOR ME, PLEASE.

# 3 MR. DOUGLAS:

I'M GOING TO LOOK AT IT BEFORE WE LEAVE.

# 4 THE COURT:

ALL RIGHT. MR. HODGMAN, MR. SCHECK, WHAT'S OUR STATUS THIS AFTERNOON? IS THERE SOMETHING WE NEED TO PUT ON THE RECORD? YOU WANT TO TALK INFORMALLY FIRST?

# 5 MR. HODGMAN:

NO, YOUR HONOR. NO. THERE WAS INFORMATION THAT THE COURT HAD RECEIVED THAT I FOR ONE WAS INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT, AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER MATTER OF DISCUSSION THAT COULD POTENTIALLY INVOLVE THE COURT BUT NEED NOT GO ON THE RECORD AT THIS TIME, AND WE WERE JUST IN THE MIDST OF DISCUSSING THAT.

# 6 THE COURT:

I CAN TAKE A BREAK FOR 10 MINUTES AND YOU GUYS CAN TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES.

# 7 MR. SCHECK:

IF MISS CLARK -- THE ONLY OTHER THING I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUTSTANDING WAS THE PACKAGES. THAT'S THE ONLY THING.

# 8 THE COURT:

HAVE YOU RESOLVED THAT WITH MR. HODGMAN?

# 9 MR. SCHECK:

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS INVOLVED.

# 10 MR. HODGMAN:

NO. I WAS JUST APPRISED OF THAT SITUATION, YOUR HONOR. YOUR HONOR, I THINK WE HAVE -- WE ARE DONE FOR THE DAY AS FAR AS THE RECORD GOES. I NEED TO TALK TO MR. SCHECK, SEE IF -- REGARDING A PROPOSITION TO WORK SOMETHING OUT. WE CAN EASILY PRESENT THAT TO THE COURT TOMORROW MORNING. SO I --

# 11 THE COURT:

WE HAVE A RATHER FULL PLATE TOMORROW MORNING.
