Summary
This document is a court transcript of the direct examination of a witness named Brune. The questioning centers on jury research conducted for jury selection, a specific telephone call on July 22nd with a judge regarding a juror connected to Catherine Conrad, and the witness's failure to identify "Mr. Nardello's firm" during that call. The transcript concludes with the witness confirming their firm resisted a subsequent government discovery request by filing a brief claiming the information was protected as client work product.
