A brief pause between witnesses as the court addressed a juror running out of pen ink. The moment produced light commentary from Shapiro and Ito before Cochran called the next witness, Mark Partridge.
# 1 MR. COCHRAN: We next call--
# 2 MR. DARDEN: May we confer a moment before we call the next witness, just for a couple minutes?
# 3 THE COURT: All right. Deputy long, why don't you grab the cup there.
# 4 MR. DARDEN: Oh, I'm sorry, your Honor.
# 5 MR. COCHRAN: Your Honor, one of the jurors needs a pen.
# 6 MR. SHAPIRO: One of the jurors was trying to get my attention.
# 7 THE COURT: No. The jurors are trying to summon the bailiff, that they have run out of another pen.
# 8 MR. SHAPIRO: That's a good sign, Judge.
KEY QUOTE # 9 THE COURT: Well, I notice I think one of our jurors has six notebooks. All right. Mr. Cochran, Mr. Darden, are we ready to proceed?
KEY QUOTE # 10 MR. COCHRAN: Yes, we are, your Honor. Mr. Mark Partridge, if the Court pleases.
