1 AFTERNOON SESSION
2 1:40 P.M.
3 THE COURT: All right. We'll take up the question of
4 the communication between the brother of Jane and Jane.
5 MR. ROHRBACH: Yes, your Honor.
6 During the break, the government did find some cases.
7 But we also learned toward the end of the break that there are
8 a small number of additional text messages.
9 The government's view at this point is that it makes
10 sense for us to fully run down and make sure we have identified
11 the universe of text messages. And we're willing to not call
12 Brian until tomorrow morning to give the parties an opportunity
13 to understand all the facts and provide an analysis of the law.
14 And so my understanding from talking to Ms. Menninger
15 is that the defense doesn't object to allowing us to brief this
16 issue tonight and call Brian and address it tomorrow morning.
17 THE COURT: Okay.

20 sense to start applying the law to those facts. But I repeat

23 information.
24 THE COURT: Well, I don't know if we'll need an under
25 oath prior to his testimony. Certainly it can be fully
