Judge Ito called a recess between witnesses to allow time for a legal discussion with counsel about exhibits. The jury was directed to a larger upstairs lounge for comfort during the approximately half-hour break.

# 1 (The following proceedings were held in open court:)

# 2 THE COURT:

All right. Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to take a break in between witnesses, and I may need to talk to the lawyers for about half an hour, so I'm going to have you taken up to the larger lounge upstairs because I think you will be more comfortable up there. Let's stand in recess until the jury is clear and then we will come back and discuss the exhibits.
