Jury recess

Date: Monday, October 2, 1995 • Utterances: 7
The jury returned from a recess and Judge Ito addressed two notes received from the foreperson: one confirming the jury had heard sufficient information from the recent readback, and one requesting verdict forms. Ito reminded jurors that readback topics may span cross-examination and redirect, then sent the verdict forms in and released the jury to continue deliberations.
1 (At 2:00 P.M. a recess was taken.)
2 (The following proceedings were held in open court, out of the presence of the jury:)
3 (A conference was held at the bench, not reported.)
4 (The following proceedings were held in open court, in the presence of the jury:)
5 THE COURT:

All right. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please be seated. And the record should reflect that we have been rejoined by all the members of our jury panel again. Ladies and gentlemen, I have received from your Foreperson, first of all, a note indicating that during the course of the reread that we just had that you had heard the information that you required. Let me just remind you that obviously we are not going to make you sit and listen to more information than you really need to answer the specific question that you needed to answer, but in making your request for other reread, you should consider the fact that the same topic may be covered on cross-examination, on redirect or recross. But if that is all you need, then that is all we will read back to you. All right. Secondly, with regards to the third note that you sent out, we will be sending in the verdict forms for you right now. They have to be in a certain form. I needed to talk to the lawyers about it beforehand. And so we will be sending those back to you as soon as we allow you to go back and conduct and continue with your deliberations. All right. Everybody nods affirmatively?

6 (The twelve jurors answered collectively in the affirmative.)
7 THE COURT:

All right. Then as far as the jury is concerned, they will retire to continue their deliberations. And Mrs. Robertson, would you provide the verdict forms to the jury, please. All right. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. All right. We will be in recess.
