[00:03:00] Speaker 1: No, no, I may have. Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for your time and consideration of this case. I also wish to invite you of some very special privileges that are enjoyed by jurors. No juror can ever be required to talk about the discussions that have occurred in the jury room, except by court order. For many centuries, our society has relied upon juries for consideration of difficult cases. We have recognized for hundreds of years that a jury's deliberations, discussions, and hopes should remain in their private affair as long as they wish it. Therefore, the law gives you a unique privilege not to speak about the jury's work. Although you are at liberty to speak with anyone about your deliberations, you are also at liberty to refuse to speak to anyone. A request may come from those who are simply curious or from those who might seek to find fault with you. It will be up to you to decide whether to preserve your privacy as a juror. I want to thank you all again for the sacrifices that you have made over the last three weeks, for your time and consideration in this case. What I have for each one of you is really just a token of our appreciation, which is a certificate of appreciation, and a small symbol of the great appreciation all of us have for you and for your participation in our system of justice. What I'm going to ask you to do is, as I discharge you, you will go with Rene, and Rene will take you out, and he will provide you with your juror's certificate. All right? I'm going to ask everyone, please, in the courtrooms, please remain in the courtroom for a few moments and allow the juries to exit. Thank you. [00:05:10] Speaker ?: All right! All right! All right! I'm going to please remain in the courtroom for the receipt of the courtroom. [00:05:49] Speaker 1: For purposes of the record, there are no errors or omissions in a verdict form. The attorney has a verdict form that is legally sufficient. Mr. Pino, the jury has found you not guilty as to both counts of the information in this case. Are there any other matters involving Mr. Pino? Not for the state. For this court to address? Not for the state. Anything else? There are no holds in Mr. Pino, is that correct? Correct. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, as I -- again, if we would give the jury a few moments, please, to exhibit the courtroom in the courthouse. And I want to thank everyone here for your respect for this court. We'll take a moment now, and I have no further matters for me to address, and at this time, we are at recess. Thank you. [00:07:20] Speaker ?: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
