◀ Direct examination of Mark Fuhrman (part 3) Court adjourned ▶

Judge Ito dismissed the jury for the afternoon recess with standard admonitions not to discuss or deliberate on the case. He ordered Detective Fuhrman to return the following morning at 8:45 AM, fifteen minutes before the jury. Darden requested a sidebar, which Ito deferred until after the jury had left.

# 1 THE COURT:

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR RECESS FOR THE AFTERNOON AT THIS TIME. PLEASE REMEMBER MY ADMONITIONS TO YOU; DON'T DISCUSS THE CASE AMONGST YOURSELVES, DON'T FORM ANY OPINIONS ABOUT THE CASE, DON'T CONDUCT ANY DELIBERATIONS ON THE MATTER UNTIL IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO YOU, DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU WITH REGARD TO THE CASE.
