1 THE COURT: Well, I would permit it as cumulative if
2 all we're doing is showing the jury that emails happened on
3 these dates.
4 MS. POMERANTZ: I just want to make sure I understand,
5 your Honor. Would all of the substance of the emails be
6 redacted?
7 THE COURT: That's the proposition.
8 MS. POMERANTZ: And what about the subject lines?
9 MS. STERNHEIM: The subject lines would not be --
10 well, the sender and recipient would not be hearsay. The date
11 would not be hearsay.
12 THE COURT: Right. But the subject line would be.
13 Okay. So with the content and the subject matter
14 redacted, I'll let the dates in. And who's emailing it would
15 have to be sealed because it identifies the witness by her true
16 identity.
17 MS. POMERANTZ: Okay, your Honor. Thank you.
18 THE COURT: Okay. So, Ms. Sternheim, your team will
19 prepare a redacted -- I'm sorry, I lost the number, K -- what
20 was the defendant's mark?
21 MS. STERNHEIM: K-8.
22 And if I may just supplement the record for a moment.
23 THE COURT: Sure.
24 MS. STERNHEIM: If it is not being offered for the
25 truth, why can't it come in with a limiting instruction? Other
