All right. Back on the record in the Simpson matter. Mr. Simpson is again present before the court with his counsel, Mr. Shapiro, Mr. Cochran, Mr. Kardashian, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Blasier, People represented by Miss Clark, Mr. Darden and Mr. Hodgman. The jury is not present. Good morning, counsel.
All right. The record should reflect that earlier this morning at 9:00 o'clock, the court met informally with counsel here in the courtroom because there are too many lawyers to go into chambers this morning for the purposes of discussing notifications to the jurors regarding their rights of privacy and the interest of the news media to interview them or speak to them following the delivery of the verdict in court here today. The court distributed to the parties copies of the questionnaire that has been distributed to the jurors and also the notice to them of confidentiality under 237 of the code of civil procedure, and those two questionnaires have been returned by the jurors. They have uniformly indicated their desire that their private information remain confidential. They have also indicated to the court unanimously a desire not to speak to the attorneys, including after the conclusion of the trial, and not to speak with the news media either. All right. Counsel, is there anything else we need to take up before we invite the jurors to join us?
