1 witness, we would have otherwise called Ms. Conrad in order to
2 elicit these facts, so somebody looking back an this record
3 later on has no misimpression of a defendant calling a witness
4 who the government selectively decides to immunize. We were
5 going to call this witness ourselves. We made a decision that
6 her testimony is in the public interest; that's why we are
7 seeking the immunity. I just wanted to make that clear to your
8 Honor.

10 you may take a seat in the jury box during her examination.
11 MS. STERNHEIM: Thank you, Judge.
12 THE COURT: Let's bring out Ms. Conrad.
13 MS. STERNHEIM: Your Honor, may I take the seat
14 closest?
15 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, come on down.
