Brief pre-jury administrative session in which Judge Ito asked Dr. Huizenga to slow down his testimony and reminded him to spell medical terms for the record. The parties also sorted out logistics for waiting witnesses and worked out how to individually designate photographs within exhibit group 1249.
# 1 (The following proceedings were held in open court, out of the presence of the jury:) # 2 THE COURT: All right. Back on the record in the Simpson matter. All parties are again present. And, doctor, if you would, would you consciously try to slow down a little. And when we hit some more of these medical terms, we may need some spellings on these. All right. Let's have the jurors, please.
# 3 MR. SHAPIRO: You're going to have to bring your dictionary.
KEY QUOTE # 4 DR. HUIZENGA: Yeah. My Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
# 5 MR. COCHRAN: May I inquire? We have some other witnesses. I wanted to make sure we have witnesses out in the hallway.
# 6 THE COURT: No way. Send them home.
KEY QUOTE # 7 MR. SHAPIRO: 16 to one rule.
# 8 MR. COCHRAN: You will be what; more than 15, 20 minutes?
# 9 MR. KELBERG: Probably slightly more than that.
# 10 MR. COCHRAN: I would like them to come back Monday morning.
# 11 THE COURT: Send them home. But we are not going to get to them this morning.
# 12 MR. KELBERG: On the photographs, are we marking them sequentially? We only started with the first photograph. We got a number I believe 1249.
KEY QUOTE # 13 THE COURT: 1249 is as a group.
# 14 MR. KELBERG: As a group?
# 15 THE COURT: I mean, it's apparent to me what each one is.
# 16 MR. KELBERG: That's true. Just in talking to the witness, it's easier for me for the record if it was an individual designation.
# 17 THE COURT: We'll go through and do a through.
# 18 MR. KELBERG: I think that might be helpful.
