1 Our concern is that the jury might feel we don't want
2 to come back and would rush to judgment in a case that we know
3 they were prepared to be here until the middle of January. And
4 they are already getting some time off. They may be
5 disinclined to want to come back. And that could inure to the
6 disadvantage of both parties, I understand.
7 But I think we would not want to be in a position
8 where the jury basically had one day prior to Christmas
9 holiday, and I would ask the Court to be mindful of that, as I
10 am sure you are. And that was one of the reasons why early on
11 when we were hopeful that we could begin this case earlier
12 because of our concern that it was going to bump up, now
13 clearly we are way ahead of what the schedule is. But I would
14 ask the Court to take into consideration that concern that we
15 have.
16 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Moe?
17 MS. MOE: Your Honor, with respect to the timing of
18 deliberations, I think the request on the timing of
19 deliberations is, I think, at best, premature because we don't
20 know how long the defense case will be; and so I don't think
21 the Court needs to reach that now.
22 But as a preview, if we end up in a situation in which
23 the defense rests during the week of the 20th, I think we
24 should be respectful of the jury's time. There's no reason for
25 the jury not to be permitted to deliberate. I think it would
