Court reconvenes out of the jury's presence to address three additional exhibit boards brought by prosecutor Darden, which had been shown to defense counsel Shapiro. Judge Ito briefly directs where the boards should be placed before calling the jury in.

# 1 (THE FOLLOWING PROCEEDINGS WERE HELD IN OPEN COURT, OUT OF THE PRESENCE OF THE JURY:)

# 2 THE COURT:

BACK ON THE RECORD IN THE SIMPSON MATTER. ALL THE PARTIES ARE PRESENT. THE JURY IS NOT PRESENT. COUNSEL, YOU BROUGHT DOWN THE ADDITIONAL BOARDS; IS THAT CORRECT?

# 3 MR. DARDEN:

YES, YOUR HONOR, THREE ADDITIONAL BOARDS. I HAVE SHOWN THOSE BOARDS TO MR. SHAPIRO.
