◀ Direct examination of William Bodziak (part 2) Direct examination of William Bodziak (part 3) ▶

Date: Friday, September 15, 1995 • Utterances: 7

A brief administrative check before the jury was brought back in. Judge Ito confirmed that Marcia Clark had repositioned some exhibits, and Clark briefly raised the matter of taking judicial notice of previously discussed items once the current witness (Bodziak) finished testifying.

# 1 (The following proceedings were held in open court, out of the presence of the jury:)

# 2 THE COURT:

All right. Back on the record in the Simpson matter. All parties are again present. Deputy Magnera, let's have the jurors, please. And, Miss Clark, you've repositioned some of the exhibits?

# 3 MS. CLARK:

Yes, your Honor. Would you like me to put it on the record how?

# 4 THE COURT:

That's all right. When the jury comes out, you can explain where things are so they'll know, although I think they're ahead of us. That's encouraging.

# 5 MS. CLARK:

It is. Would the court--assuming we finish Mr. Bodziak, would the court like to take judicial notice as we previously discussed?

# 6 THE COURT:

Might as well.

# 7 MS. CLARK:

Thank you, your Honor.

Lance A. Ito

I think they're ahead of us. That's encouraging.

Rare light moment — Ito wryly noting the jury seemed more oriented to the repositioned exhibits than the court itself.

Marcia Clark

Assuming we finish Mr. Bodziak, would the court like to take judicial notice as we previously discussed?

Signals the prosecution's intent to formally introduce legally established facts via judicial notice, likely related to Bodziak's shoe print testimony.

Lance A. Ito

Ito quipped that the jury appeared to already understand where the repositioned exhibits were — better than the court itself.
