◀ In chambers: statement admissibility Cross-examination of Collin Yamauchi (part 1) ▶

Date: Friday, May 26, 1995 • Utterances: 6

Judge Ito briefly handles two housekeeping matters at the start of the session: a juror replacement (juror no. 12 was removed for good cause during the prior day's chambers proceedings, and a replacement drawn by lot), and a minor seating adjustment for juror 165. Criminalist Collin Yamauchi then resumes the witness stand to continue his testimony.

# 2 THE COURT:

All right. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please be seated. Let the record reflect that we've been joined by all the remaining members of our jury panel. The record should also reflect that during yesterday's chambers proceedings, the Court found good cause to replace juror no. 12. Mrs. Robertson, would you please draw a name for seat no. 12--excuse me--a number for seat no. 12.

Juror 2457, please have a seat in seat no. 12.

All right. Juror 165, if you want to move down one seat for better view--
