All right. We're once again on the record in the case of People versus Simpson. The defendant is present with counsel, the people are represented.

Yes, Your Honor. With respect to the matter concerning the tapes, I'd like to indicate to the court that by the time the micro cassette was converted to a regular cassette -- which is the only thing we can play -- and copied, it was already about a quarter to 1:00. So we have not had an opportunity to listen to the tape. However, I listened to one of the tapes and it appeared that the date of the recording was June 14th, and we only just received discovery -- well, the court was present when we finally got the tapes in our hands about an hour and a half ago. So although discovery obviously could have been made sooner, it has not, and we are not -- I cannot in good conscience proceed forward with a witness, being unprepared in this fashion. I'm going to have to listen to the tapes as to each witness. Furthermore, there are other matters that I think we should take up in chambers. And with respect to discovery, I have here discovery concerning the events that transpired in Chicago involving this investigation, numbered pages C.H. 1 through 259. And they also include one cassette tape. I'm turning it over to the defense in a manila envelope at this time.

All right. With reference to your request to have a conference in chambers, can you give the court some indication as to what the subject matter is you wish to discuss in chambers?

All right, then. I will go in chambers. If I make a determination immediately in terms of that discussion that it's one that should be in open court, then we will immediately return to open court.

Thank you very much.
