◀ Recess Redirect examination of Dr. Bruce Weir (part 2) ▶

Date: Monday, June 26, 1995 • Lines: 14

Brief pre-session check-in before the jury rejoined. Marcia Clark asked to see Judge Ito's cup, which turned out to be a Father's Day gift, prompting a light exchange. Carl Douglas then raised a concern about receiving 33 pages of notes from witness Susan Brockbank only that afternoon, prompting concern about cross-examining the witness that day.

# 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. Counsel, anything we need to take up before we ask the jurors to rejoin us?

# 3 MS. CLARK:

Yes, your Honor. Could I see the cup again?

# 4 THE COURT:

No. You don't really want to see this. One of my father's day presents.

KEY QUOTE

# 5 MS. CLARK:

It's beautiful.

# 6 THE COURT:

Thank you.

# 7 MS. CLARK:

That's all.

# 8 THE COURT:

That's it? All right. Let's have the jurors, please. Mr. Douglas.

# 9 MR. DOUGLAS:

Your Honor, I was just given at the break 33 pages of notes including perhaps 28 pages of handwritten notes by Miss Susan Brockbank and a five-page report. Messers Blasier and Bailey are in the back reviewing the documents, but expressed some amount of concern at the process of having to cross-examine a witness today upon receiving rough notes from that witness only this afternoon.

KEY QUOTE

# 10 THE COURT:

Well, why don't we take that up as soon as we conclude Dr. Weir, assuming we are going to conclude Dr. Weir this afternoon.

# 11 MR. DOUGLAS:

Very well.

# 12 THE COURT:

All right. Mr. Clarke, do you have much more?

# 13 MR. CLARKE:

No.

# 14 THE COURT:

All right. Let's have the jurors, please.
