1 equipment does not save anything. So I would ask permission
2 that we would be able to take a picture of it for the record.
3 It's a demonstrative; it's not being put into evidence. But if
4 the Court wished it to be part of the record, the only way to
5 preserve it would be by a copy of it.
6 THE COURT: What's an example? Usually you just use
7 words to describe for the record what's being indicated.
8 MS. STERNHEIM: There's an opportunity for her to do a
9 demonstrative for the jury. If we weren't in COVID, she would
10 get up, she would stand before the jury with a whiteboard. We
11 cannot do that under these circumstances. And the equipment is
12 for that very purpose. It's been done in other cases; it's
13 just that this equipment --
14 THE COURT: So it would be like a whiteboard.
15 MS. STERNHEIM: Yes.
16 THE COURT: Whiteboard doesn't come into evidence.
17 MS. STERNHEIM: I'm not saying it's coming into
18 evidence.
19 THE COURT: She can draw on it, but I don't see a need
20 to take a picture.
21 MS. STERNHEIM: I'm only saying if the Court wished
22 there to be a -- part of the record. But if the Court does
23 not, that's fine.
24 THE COURT: I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you
25 were asking for it to be part of the record.
