MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, at this point, because it
has only been three days, we believe that any suggestion that
they should stay later is beginning to sound like urging them
to hurry up, when clearly they know that they can deliberate as
long as they want and they should be able to deliberate as long
as they want. They haven't expressed any hesitation. They've
been asking for transcripts, they've been asking for materials.
While we would not mind the Court giving an
instruction much like it did last week, telling the jurors that
should they choose to stay later on any given day, the Court
can make arrangements for them to do so, we would object to
trying to urge them to stay later if they are not asking to do
so and aren't expressing any difficulty in proceeding with the
deliberations that they are currently undertaking.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, the Court has previously
extended certain days or contracted certain days, depending on
our schedule; and, in fact, I think the first day of
deliberations we had an extended day on the consent of both
parties. We don't believe that sends any kind of signal, other
than that the Court is setting a schedule. And we think that's
appropriate here given the circumstances.
THE COURT: I think what we should do, I'll tell them
that if deliberations are not complete starting tomorrow, I
would like you to make yourselves available to deliberate until
at least 6 p.m. each day. Of course, if you all agree to
