1 It seems to me, again, I've indicated how I think this
2 proceeds, but I need counsel to tell me what they're
3 requesting. All I have is a letter from the lawyers saying
4 that they have a defense subpoena and their witness would
5 invoke. If the request is that you want the witness to come
6 and invoke formally outside the presence of the jury, we can do
7 that. If the request is some substitution for that, confer
8 with the government and make a proposal to the Court.
9 Okay. What else?
10 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I've conferred with the
11 government a couple times on redactions. I tried that
12 yesterday, I tried it again this morning. I don't have an
13 answer back yet from them, but I hope we can have one soon on
14 some of the exhibits that are outstanding. That's something
15 else that's outstanding.
16 MR. ROHRBACH: Yes, your Honor, we've been trading
17 views on redactions. We'll finalize them and submit them to
18 the Court shortly.
19 THE COURT: Yes, Ms. Sternheim?
20 MS. STERNHEIM: Judge, I wanted to inform the Court,
21 as the government is aware --
22 THE COURT: I'm not sure your mic is on.
23 MS. STERNHEIM: Now it is. There were technical
24 issues with regard to providing testimony from Mr. Hamilton in
25 England, and we viewed it to be just far too complicated.
