◀ Jury admonition Direct examination of Susan Brockbank (afternoon, part 3) ▶

Date: Tuesday, June 27, 1995 • Utterances: 2

Judge Ito briefly addressed the jury to explain why a book was collected from two jurors the previous day. He noted attorneys needed time to review the book to determine if it posed a problem, and that he would follow up. The proceeding then transitioned to resuming direct examination of witness Miss Brockbank.

# 2 THE COURT:

All right. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please be seated. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, yesterday, I asked Mrs. Robertson to collect a book that two of you were reading because it was brought to my attention that there might be a problem. The attorneys have asked for the opportunity just to read the book over the evening hours to see if there's still a problem, and I'll get back to you on that. Okay? All right. Miss Brockbank, would you resume the witness stand, please. All right. Good afternoon again, Miss Brockbank. You are reminded you are still under oath. And, Miss Clark, you may continue with your direct examination.
