All right. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please be seated. And let the record reflect that we have now been rejoined by all the members of our jury panel. And Mr. Neufeld, do you have a stipulation to offer?
Thank you. The stipulation that the Prosecution and lawyers for Mr. Simpson have entered into is that this exhibit, which is 1382, is a syringe that is the same make and the same model as a syringe that nurse Thano Peratis used on June 13th, 1994, to draw blood from Mr. Simpson. And with that, your Honor, I would ask permission to pass it around so the jurors can inspect it.
KEY QUOTENo, there is a needle attached. There is a sheath over the needle and there is packaging over the sheath.
All right. The record should reflect that each of the jurors has had the opportunity to examine that item. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, at this point we have no further witnesses to present to you this morning, so we are going to break a little early as far as you are concerned. And just to let you know what the progress of the case is, I now have before me certain motions regarding whether or not I'm going to allow either side to call additional witnesses as to certain specific issues in the case. I have to decide who they can call and who they can't. I anticipate that we will conclude, as I indicated to you, the presentation of all the witnesses this week, and argue next week, and that is still my expectation based upon what I know of the case. So please remember all my admonitions to you. Don't discuss the case among yourselves, form any opinions about the case, don't conduct any deliberations until the matter has been submitted to you, do not allow anybody to communicate with you with regard to the case. As far as the jury is concerned, we will stand in recess until--given what I know about the availability of the witnesses, if I do allow them, they will not be available until tomorrow, so as far as the jury is concerned, we will be in recess until nine o'clock. As far as counsel are concerned, though, we will reconvene as soon as the jury has been escorted out of the courtroom. All right. Thank you.
