A contentious day dominated by discovery violations and sanctions motions. The court held two heated hearings addressing the defense's failures to disclose expert witness reports (over one month overdue) and the Rosa Lopez witness statement tape recording. The prosecution demanded sanctions including preclosure of defense experts, while the defense attempted damage control by admitting failures and attributing them to coordination breakdowns under speedy trial pressure. Between hearings, routine jury management continued with a juror replacement and scheduling through Friday.

• Jury alternate 353 seated to replace excused juror
• Jury offered Academy Award screeners as compensation for scheduled downtime until Friday
• Prosecution moves to preclude all defense expert testimony unless reports produced by 5:00 PM the following day
• Defense fails to explain month-long delay in producing expert witness reports despite January 29 court order
• Defense admits failure to timely disclose investigator's Rosa Lopez interview tape recording
• Prosecution seeks multiple sanctions including jury admonition and right to argue evidence withholding in closing argument
• Multiple defense attorneys (Douglas, Uelmen, Shapiro) address discovery violations in succession
