▲ Day 4 of 6

◀ Redirect examination of Brian Kato Kaelin Resumption of afternoon proceedings ▶

Date: Wednesday, July 6, 1994 • Lines: 12

The defense reserved further cross-examination of Kaelin, and the prosecution asked that he remain available for recall regarding both the motion and the preliminary hearing. The judge kept him on call, instructed him not to discuss his testimony, and recessed court until 3:00 p.m.

# 1 THE COURT:

Mr. Uelmen, do you want to have a last word?

# 2 MR. UELMEN:

No, I don't think so. The witness may be excused.

# 3 THE COURT:

Now, as to the motion he is excused. I think you have reserved cross-examining him in regard to the preliminary hearing in general. Do you wish to do that at this time, or you want to reserve it?

# 4 MR. UELMEN:

I want to reserve it, with the court's permission, please.
