TRIAL

▲ Day 74 of 167

◀ Cross-examination of Dr. Robin Cotton (part 5) Housekeeping ▶

Date: Monday, May 15, 1995 • Utterances: 10

A brief administrative exchange in which defense counsel Peter Neufeld clarified that exhibit 1157 has a companion photo labeled 1157-A (the version with arrows), which Judge Ito admitted. The judge then admonished the jury, gave attorneys fifteen minutes to reorganize exhibits during a phase transition, and called a recess.

# 1 (Discussion held off the record between Defense counsel.)

# 2 MR. NEUFELD:

I'm sorry, there is both--a photograph which is 1157 and a photograph which is 1157-A.

# 3 THE COURT:

The one which the arrows are on, correct.

# 4 MR. NEUFELD:

That's correct.

# 5 THE COURT:

All right. We will add 1157-A in addition.

# 6 MR. NEUFELD:

Thank you.

# 7 THE COURT:

Ladies and gentlemen, as I mentioned to you, every time we shift I will allow the attorneys time to reorganize their exhibits. Please remember all my admonitions to you. This will only be about, Mr. Clarke, about fifteen minutes?

# 8 MR. CLARKE:

That's fine, your Honor.

# 9 THE COURT:

All right. Ask the jury to step back in the jury room. And we will stand in recess for fifteen.

# 10 (Recess.)
