Before you hear from Mr. Uelmen and Mr. Goldberg, there is the issue of the Defense witness list. Now, we are probably a day from finishing with Mr. Deedrick or a day and a half in terms of testimony.
Yeah, I think so. I think you've suggested the appropriate cross-examination in this case and I'm sure they'll take your advice.
You know, we ought to go to the Talmudic Courts where the Judge does all the questioning.
KEY QUOTEThen we'd have to object to that, wouldn't we? And it could take six months.
KEY QUOTEIn any event, I think we have a right to know what the witness lineup is going to be for the Defense.
I think it was agreed, your Honor, that--and we talked about this--they'll get a list and--first of all, I think they're being optimistic with regard to when they're going to finish. Miss Clark has previously indicated she would take a minimum of two days for direct. That's what she told us herself. And there will be cross-examination. And what we agreed was that as soon as they finish their case, we'll give them a list. And I think you agreed that was appropriate. We'll give them a list--and we'll give them more time than what they've given us. We're not going to just hold back and give a witness at a time. I want to give them enough so they can keep busy because we're going to move this case along, your Honor.
All right. My only concern though is, Mr. Cochran, you know what the Prosecution case is. We're going to finish with Mr. Deedrick my guess is Wednesday or Thursday.
And the next witness for the Prosecution will be Juditha Brown, which my guess will be a 20-minute witness.
And that will be a wrap. Then we will have to go into perhaps a day of the People moving their various evidence into evidence. And I anticipate--however, I only anticipate between 12 and 20 objections to pieces of evidence because I think everything else was previously agreed to. So we should be able to do that in half a day, and then we will get to the Defense case probably Thursday afternoon or Friday. So--
We previously indicated, we'll be ready to give them a list as soon as they rest. Your Honor, the problem with this Prosecution team is that as soon as they see something on our list, they may very well not rest. And that was the issue you--
That was the representation and we think that will be the case. Of course, there are probably a few stipulations we may need to enter into in terms of some of the exhibits, but I don't think there will be any need to call any additional witnesses beyond what we've indicated already. At any event, the rule of the deal has been three days and, you know--
Well, unfortunately, I won't be here tomorrow as the Court is aware. May I give the list on Wednesday morning when I return? And I'll make sure they have it Wednesday morning. Your Honor, there's going to be--by the time they finish this case, trust me, it will be probably more like Friday before we can start, but they'll have enough time, your Honor.
What time--by the way, since I won't be here, are we starting Wednesday what time?
May I inquire of Miss Clark, your Honor, whether there's any possibility she'll finish in the morning?
I understand. I simply want an understanding that if she does finish, I would like the weekend to go through all these exhibits which we just saw yesterday with my expert in detail before having to start. Thank you.
You know, we ought to go to the Talmudic Courts where the Judge does all the questioning.
Then we'd have to object to that, wouldn't we? And it could take six months.
The problem with this Prosecution team is that as soon as they see something on our list, they may very well not rest.
I'd like to say yes, but I really doubt it.
