1 don't think it's appropriate under these circumstances.
2 THE COURT: This agent, what was his role in the
3 investigation?
4 MS. MOE: Your Honor, this agent's role was limited to
5 analyzing these records in preparation for trial.
6 Your Honor, in particular because these exhibits
7 contain identifying phone numbers and names, we feel more
8 comfortable publishing these exhibits with an agent, as opposed
9 to asking lay witnesses to review government exhibits for us in
10 order to facilitate that testimony. Our preference is to
11 publish this with an agent to do this carefully and
12 thoughtfully so that we're able to publish the exhibits before
13 the jury without exposing any identifying information.
14 It's very streamlined testimony, your Honor. We're
15 talking about exhibits the jury hasn't yet seen that haven't
16 been published. It's not duplicative of anything that's
17 already happened at the trial. And in particular, because
18 closings will be maybe as long as two weeks from now, we think
19 the jury should see these exhibits now; they have not yet been
20 published.
21 THE COURT: That's a little bit of the problem.
22 Typically, in my experience, the summary agent witness
23 is the agent who talks about what he did in the investigation,
24 and that helps draw out complicated document comparators and
25 the like, not somebody who's just effectively doing a mini
