Judge Ito called a brief 20-minute recess to allow technicians to reposition a microscope so the jury could examine a different location on whatever sample was being viewed. This is a routine administrative pause during what appears to be a microscopic evidence examination.

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

# 2 THE COURT:

All right. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll take a recess for about 20 minutes just so we can change the location that the microscope looks at. So please remember my admonitions to you, and we'll bring you out as soon as we have that repositioned for you to look at. All right? We'll take about 20 minutes, and let's have the photography accomplished.
