TRIAL

▲ Day 92 of 167

◀ Direct examination of Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran (part 2) Scheduling and administrative matters ▶

Date: Friday, June 9, 1995 • Utterances: 20

A brief sidebar at the end of the court session covered two administrative matters: Cochran confirmed OJ Simpson would waive his presence at an upcoming hearing on the Kardashian matter before Judge Czuleger, and Darden raised a discovery question about the targeting juror motion. The judge clarified the motion's hearing date and adjourned for the weekend.

# 1 (The following proceedings were held at the bench:)

# 2 THE COURT:

We are over at the sidebar. Counsel, this afternoon, the Kardashian matter is going to be heard by Judge Czuleger. And I had asked you previously whether or not your client would waive his presence at that hearing. You indicated to me that he would; is that correct?

# 3 MR. COCHRAN:

He will. Let me just check with him one more time. I'm sure he will.

# 4 MR. DARDEN:

While he is doing that, I wanted to ask you about a discovery issue relative to the targeting juror motion to be heard on Wednesday.

# 5 THE COURT:

Hold on.

# 6 (Brief pause.)

# 7 MR. COCHRAN:

Sorry, your Honor. Yes. As I indicated, he will waive his appearance.

# 8 THE COURT:

Mr. Darden, I thought we had that motion set for next Friday is my recollection.

# 9 MS. CLARK:

Is it Friday?

# 10 THE COURT:

I need to run.

# 11 MR. DARDEN:

Just one question before you go. There's no discovery on that from the Defense. They're making these allegations in their moving papers, but--

# 12 MS. CLARK:

Is there discovery for us so we can--

# 13 THE COURT:

You can ask, and we'll see.

# 14 MR. COCHRAN:

I'm sure before that time, we're going to file some additional papers.

# 15 MR. DARDEN:

I don't want Dershowitz to come out here if we are not going to litigate it.
