Discussion on record before recess

Date: Wednesday, February 8, 1995 • Utterances: 15
A brief administrative exchange before the afternoon recess in which Judge Ito asks counsel if anything needs to go on the record. Cochran says no, then Clark immediately contradicts him, prompting a dry remark from the judge. The proceeding ends with Clark requesting a sidebar on the record with the court reporter.
