Adjournment

Date: Wednesday, June 21, 1995 • Utterances: 6
Judge Ito adjourned court for the day and corrected a misstatement he had made earlier — he had implied the trial was roughly halfway done by noting the prosecution might rest the following week, but clarified that this framing was wrong because the defense has no obligation to present any evidence. The jury was sent to recess until 1:30, with counsel ordered back at 9:00 AM the following morning.
1 THE COURT:

All right. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to take our recess for the day. Let me say one other thing to you, however. When I was commenting to you earlier about the fact that the Prosecution anticipates resting perhaps at the end of next week and I indicated to you that means perhaps we've finished half of the case at this point, I misspoke myself because, as you recollect, the Defense has no obligation whatsoever, as I instructed you at the beginning of the case, to present any evidence at all. So at this point, all we're certain is that the Prosecution may be concluding their case by the end of next week. All right? I think you recollect my initial instructions regarding the burden of proof. All right. As far as the jury is concerned, we will stand in recess until 1:30. And I'll expect counsel here at 9:00 o'clock tomorrow morning for the hearing. All right. We'll be in recess.

Key Quotes (1)

Lance A. Ito
I misspoke myself because, as you recollect, the Defense has no obligation whatsoever, as I instructed you at the beginning of the case, to present any evidence at all.
Ito walks back a comment that could have misled jurors about where they stood in the trial — protecting the defense's constitutional right not to put on a case.
