[00:06:32] Speaker 2: This has been a long trial, a difficult trial in many ways. As I think I've noted before, you all were actively participating. I would keep an eye on you to make sure that everyone's still engaged. And I know that this is a, a long process, a difficult process, and you all took it very seriously. And we're active participants, and I appreciate that. I want to thank you on behalf of the court system and the state for your service. Um, you are all excused at this point. Often the attorneys like an opportunity to chat with you if you're willing to stick around. You do not need to stick around. You're not obligated to do that at all. Um, but if you want to, they may, um, come down and chat with you. If you're willing to stick around. I will come down and, and, uh, uh, thank you again and ask for any feedback that you have for how we can make things work smoother for you. But again, you don't have to stick around for that. So you've all, um, completed your service. You're free to discuss the case at this point. And, uh, thank you very much. I'm excused. Thank you. [00:07:36] Speaker ?: Please be seated. Um, as, uh, the parties understand, um, sentencing is put out sometime for a pre-sentence report. I have, uh, two potential dates, October 20th at 2:00 PM or October 23rd at 10:00 AM. October 20th at 2:00 PM or October 23rd at, uh, 10:00 AM. October 20th at 2:00 PM or October 23rd at, uh, 10:00 AM. And, um, um, if you're not going to be able to do that, you know, I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. [00:07:54] Speaker 2: I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. [00:07:58] Speaker ?: I'm going to be able to do that. [00:07:59] Speaker 2: I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. [00:08:11] Speaker ?: I'm going to be able to do that. [00:08:12] Speaker 2: I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that. I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm going to be able to do that. the parties when we get closer, just contact chambers and we can make sure that it's a date that works for everybody. Is there a preference between those two dates at this point? [00:08:32] Speaker 1: Yes, Judge. [00:08:34] Speaker 2: And what is that preference? [00:08:36] Speaker 1: I think that we will probably need some time for the sentencing. So I would prefer we block off a significant portion time of October 23rd. [00:08:53] Speaker 2: Let me take a look if I have anything at this point. I don't think I have a date certain trial at that point, but let me. [00:08:58] Speaker 3: The 23rd's of Friday. Yes. [00:09:05] Speaker 2: Right. So if we start at 10, is that work? I can block off, what, a four hour chunk? Two hours? [00:09:12] Speaker 3: I don't know that four will be sufficient, Judge. I imagine there will be a lot of statements in this case. I don't think we need four hours, but I'll look for those four. [00:09:26] Speaker 2: I will, I'll block off the day. I always love desk time when I have a chance to do some work and so if it, unless something, you know, today I'll, we'll start at 10 o'clock and we'll take as long as we need. Does that work? Yes, Judge. [00:09:39] Speaker 3: Okay. [00:09:40] Speaker 2: And again, if those dates end up not working for people as we get closer to it, just contact Chambers and we'll work on picking a new date. All right. Anything else today? Do either parties intend to go chat with the jurors? [00:09:57] Speaker 3: I always like to hear from them if anybody's stuck around. I, I think I'll send you. [00:10:04] Speaker 2: Mr. I couldn't hear you. Yes, Judge. Okay. All right. I, I'm going to run down there and thank them again and, and, and then I'll get out of your way and you can, you folks can come down and chat with them. Thank you all. Off record.
