A brief sidebar in which Judge Ito informs counsel that Juror No. 1290 needs a doctor's appointment for her hip, requiring an early adjournment at 4:45 PM on Thursday instead of the usual 6:00 PM. Both sides quickly agree with no objection. The juror had apparently suffered a fall in court previously.
# 1 (The following proceedings were held at the bench:) # 2 THE COURT: We are over at the side bar out of the presence. Counsel, no. 1290 needs to see her doctor regarding her hip and the only day that we could get her appointment is Thursday, and so Thursday, instead of going to 6:00, we are going to have to quit at 4:45.
# 4 MS. CLARK: Heartbroken.
# 5 MR. COCHRAN: Is she the one who fell out there?
KEY QUOTE # 6 THE COURT: Yes, yes, so we are going to break at 4:45 Thursday so she can make her appointment, okay, but she says she doesn't need to go now but she would like to go this week.
# 7 MR. COCHRAN: That is fine with us.
# 8 THE COURT: See you later.
# 9 MR. COCHRAN: Thanks, Judge.
# 10 THE COURT: He is going to some other courtroom.
