Recess

Date: Tuesday, July 5, 1994 • Utterances: 4
Judge Kennedy-Powell asked Shapiro if he was ready to cross-examine the current witness. Shapiro requested to defer cross-examination until after a motion to suppress evidence. The judge then called a noon recess and instructed the witness to return to the stand at an unspecified later time, reminding him not to discuss his testimony with anyone except counsel.
1 THE COURT:

Mr. Shapiro, are you prepared to cross-examine now, or did you want to defer that?

2 MR. SHAPIRO:

Your Honor, we would like to defer it after a motion to suppress evidence, please.

KEY QUOTE
3 THE COURT:

All right. It's approximately seven minutes to 12:00, so I think we'll simply break for the noon recess at this time and commence at 1:30. Sir, we will at some point in time have you be returning to the stand. I'm not sure exactly when that will be. I will remind you, please, not to discuss your testimony with anyone except with the lawyers in this matter. Thank you. You may step down. I'd like to see counsel in chambers just with regard to scheduling.
