Judge Ito organized all jurors to individually view People's exhibit 284 through a stereomicroscope, one at a time. The session was purely procedural — each of the 16 jurors stepped forward, looked through the microscope, and returned to their seat. Gary Sims was available to adjust the focus for jurors who had difficulty seeing.
# 1 THE COURT: Yeah, but we're going to take a break in between. So--all right. Let's start with juror no. 1492. We'll start at the end of the queue this time. Let's have 1492 come forward, take a look. And, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we'll just bring you up here one at a time to look through the stereomicroscope. Take your time. Don't feel rushed.
