COUNSEL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BE SEATED, PLEASE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THERE'S A RULE OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR CALLED MURPHY'S LAW THAT BASICALLY SAYS IF SOMETHING CAN GO WRONG, IT WILL GO WRONG, AND THE COROLLARY TO THAT RULE IS THAT IF IT'S GOING TO GO WRONG, IT WILL GO WRONG AT THE MOST OPPORTUNE MOMENT. SOMETHING HAS COME UP THAT INVOLVES DIRECTLY YOUR WELFARE, A PROBLEM THAT I'M GOING TO NEED TO DEAL WITH. AND I NEED SOME TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT, DECIDE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. AND IT'S A RATHER UNUSUAL PROBLEM AND IT HAS -- I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING THAT THE PARTIES DID. IT'S SOMETHING EXTRANEOUS, SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM THAT I NEED TO DEAL WITH. YOU ARE NOT TO SPECULATE AS TO WHAT THAT MIGHT BE. AND LET ME BE FRANK WITH YOU. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU DIRECTLY. BUT IT HAS CAUSED ME GREAT CONCERN, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE REST OF THE COURT DAY TO DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION. SO WE'RE GOING TO STAND IN RECESS AT THIS POINT AS FAR AS YOU ARE CONCERNED. WE WILL RESUME WITH YOU, THE JURY, WITH THE DEFENDANT'S OPENING STATEMENTS TOMORROW MORNING AT 10:00 O'CLOCK.
