You're now free to talk to anyone you like about the case and the decision that your jury has reached. By the same token, you're not required to speak to anyone about this case. That is your decision. However, sometimes the attorneys like to talk with you to ascertain your views about the evidence and inputs from how you, how they could improve. But again, you're not required to speak to anyone about the case. That is purely your decision. Again, thank you for your service and your commitment to your jury duty this week.

Okay. And they have traveled and we are putting them up and there's no one else to be here. And just for their convenience, we would request that the sentencing be only 15. Okay. I believe I can accommodate that. I have a vote of county. It's 9 in the morning. My afternoon is wide open before I come after when that case releases.
[00:10:34] Speaker ?: Okay.
[00:10:35] Speaker 3: I think this will be a continuation of the trial. We can still be on trial, so this will take precedence.
