Sidebar: evidence display

Date: Wednesday, May 31, 1995 • Utterances: 10
A brief sidebar to coordinate a photographer documenting evidence. Harmon signals he is done with his examination, and the court arranges to photograph the evidence display — resetting between shots to capture each item separately.

2 THE COURT:

We're over at the sidebar. Mr. Harmon.

3 MR. HARMON:

The photographer is here.

4 THE COURT:

I was going to say, let's take a break.

5 MR. COCHRAN:

The routine is to take a break, take the photographs and do all this again? You're almost finished?

Almost. No. I'm done.

Why don't you take a picture of both of them.

KEY QUOTE
10 THE COURT:

That's exactly what we're going to do. We'll take this picture first, reset it, then take that picture. All right.
