[00:08:02] Speaker 1: Let the verdicts be recorded, Madam Clerk Lieutenant Horgan
[00:08:08] Speaker 5: Is your bus here?
[00:08:21] Speaker ?: No, sir
[00:08:22] Speaker 5: How long will it take us to get away? All right I'm going to have to let him go back to the jury room in a few minutes and talk scheduled to them I'm going to think out I'm going to call the bus again All right, go ahead and call the bus again
[00:08:35] Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I want to ask you to return again to the jury room for just a few minutes while we do some additional discussion on scheduling and we'll further instruct you and the lieutenant is calling your bus at this time If you step back into the jury room at this time
[00:08:53] Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, the jury will be back to the jury room
[00:08:56] Speaker 1: When will the party be ready to proceed with the penalty section?
[00:09:20] Speaker 3: All right, we need at least a day and probably two in order to be prepared As we discussed in the chambers, I think probably with the court's schedule as it is Saturday will be about the earliest time that we'll be prepared
[00:09:36] Speaker 2: The defense would need some time, perhaps a week We haven't discussed it yet, but we believe we might want to request some examinations
[00:09:48] Speaker 5: A week?
[00:09:50] Speaker 2: If they would be necessary, I need to confer with Mr. Bunke and the other lawyers first before we confer
[00:09:57] Speaker 1: I need to confer with the court if you're talking about a week There's no way we're going to continue to leave this jury up I will recess it until I have got to be in Tallahassee Friday Today is Tuesday And, of course, Dr. Tanay has already made an examination And we'll recess it until Saturday morning How long do you anticipate your penalty phase testimony to be?
[00:10:31] Speaker 3: Probably the better part of the morning, perhaps a little bit longer than that
[00:10:35] Speaker 5: Do you have any idea?
[00:10:39] Speaker 2: Well, we could have him for a moment to put on our show That would certainly help us I would imagine that I would be about the same half a day or a day
[00:10:58] Speaker 1: All right, I think we can probably accommodate that schedule I'll need to discuss it and explain it to the jury We'll take the states You want to wait to yours on Monday morning Or will you be ready on Saturday?
[00:11:13] Speaker 3: That's entirely up to the court
[00:11:14] Speaker 1: Well, it might expedite it if we can do it on Saturday Let's take the states' side of whatever you have And hear all the states' testimony on Saturday And then we'll hear yours on Monday
[00:11:27] Speaker 2: We want to be ready for tomorrow for us to file motions of
[00:11:32] Speaker 5: Verdict hasn't been recorded yet No, we won't record a verdict until we complete the bifurcated section We haven't entered a verdict We've recorded the
[00:11:43] Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't entered a judgment
[00:11:45] Speaker 2: No, I don't mean a post-verdict motion I mean motions relating to obtaining certain witnesses
[00:11:52] Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be in town all day tomorrow and all day Thursday I just have a point with Chief Justice on Friday Administrative matter sneaks up on me once in a while I have to go take care of it We'll have to be there Friday But we can follow this schedule And I'll explain this to the jury And Lieutenant There's something that I want to explain to you, sir With the jury in the meantime And it probably goes without saying to you Because we communicate and understand these things But it does have impact upon everybody else That I want to know about this The jury's going to remain to be sequestered And there'll be absolutely no contact with this jury By anybody Under the painful penalty of the Dade County Jail I kid you not They will be And of course I don't indicate by that That any of you have And I don't mean you have You haven't But anxiety sometime is a Disturber of wisdom And I only want to communicate to you That the better part of wisdom Will be to leave this jury alone And we will Recess Till Saturday We'll begin at 10 o'clock On Saturday morning With your penalty testimony And I will instruct them At this time To do so Necessarily Secure Whatever is necessary Bring them on back in Thank you sir Ladies and gentlemen
[00:13:42] Speaker 2: The court is present
[00:14:11] Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen The jury Your service has been long But we're going to make A couple of more Unpleasant demands on you As far as time is concerned And I speak Solely In a scheduling standpoint Because of the schedule And part of this Is due to the courts I have to be out of town One day delay Is because I have to be out of town On Friday And some business In Tallahassee We're going to begin The second portion Of the trial That you were referred to During the course Of what our examination The bifurcated portion That it is called At 10 o'clock On Saturday morning I just can't get to it I just can't get to it Ahead of that That's why I ask you To step out And it's primarily Not the party's fault I want you to communicate Any distress Or any problems That you have Because of the delay To me It's not the party's fault I will excuse you now And we've cautioned And told Everyone not to discuss Anything with you Concerning this phase Of your verdict We still have judicial Labor to do We will begin that Promptly at 10 o'clock On Saturday morning And conclude it Probably on Monday I think after that You would probably Be able again To retire To consider That section of it And I will assure you When that verdict Is returned We'll no longer Keep you in captivity I will excuse you now To return back here Saturday morning At 10 o'clock If you have any belongings In the jury room Please get them And court personnel Will take you Your bus has been called They'll take you down To the other offices As I've been doing In the past
