1 or the 24th, and it's the weekend, Christmas weekend, 25th,
2 26th. The juror would be gone the 27th, 28th, would not make
3 sense to return for one day of that week. So, really, it would
4 be a 10-day break in the trial. I don't think that makes
5 sense, Mr. Pagliuca. I know I mentioned that, but I'm not sure
6 I had that fully in mind at the time, and that's practically
7 what we would be talking about.
8 MR. PAGLIUCA: I appreciate that, your Honor. Again,
9 I frankly don't want to delay this trial. The intention here
10 is, first, I don't know which juror this is, and that would
11 make a difference in my analysis here, frankly.
12 THE COURT: I mean, to be candid, that's why I'm not
13 telling you, because -- I'm not telling either side because I
14 think under the veil of ignorance is a better place for
15 everybody to be.
16 MR. PAGLIUCA: Let me be more specific, your Honor.
17 I'm not asking to know the specific juror, but what would make
18 a large difference to me is whether this person is in the
19 alternate pool versus the main pool of jurors. I would have
20 less of a problem excusing the juror if the juror was in the
21 alternate pool as opposed to the main pool. And the reason I
22 say that is we carefully exercised peremptory challenges in
23 this case, both to the main pool and the alternate pool. Had
24 we understood that if this juror's plans couldn't be changed,
25 we would have made a different choice while the entire venire
