Defense attorney Peter Neufeld requests a delay before calling his next witness, asking first for three days and then for 12 hours. Judge Ito denies both requests, telling Neufeld to simply go speak with the witness directly. Neufeld cites preparation demands for upcoming witnesses Deedrick and Bodziak as justification.
