(In open court.)

(Marshal sworn.)

THE COURT: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we're done for the day. Tomorrow morning when you arrive, when all 12 of are you in the jury room, you may start your deliberations. We will provide you with the materials we promised you. We're not going to call you out to start, but all 12 of you need to be present to start.

All rise for the jury.

(Jury exits the courtroom.)

THE COURT: You may be seated. So tell me about the marshaling of the evidence.

MS. PENZA: Thanks to our amazing paralegals, I think we're actually very close. I think we have almost all of our exhibits, so we're working to pull out the more sensitive material. And we'll have a discussion about which things, there are a couple of items that we would request go back redacted. But other than that, I think we're pretty close.

THE COURT: Why don't we then meet at 9:00 o'clock tomorrow morning.

MR. AGNIFILO: We have ours, Judge. I haven't checked it, but I'm led to believe we have ours, subject to a final check.

THE COURT: Discuss this among yourselves. This way at nine tomorrow morning when the jurors get here, they get here between nine and 9:15 depending on traffic, we can send everything into them and they can take it from there.

THE COURT: All right. Is there anything else for this evening?

MS. PENZA: No, your Honor.

THE COURT: Anything else?

MR. AGNIFILO: Nothing from us, Judge.

THE COURT: Have a good night. Thank you.

MR. AGNIFILO: What time do you want the defendant, nine or 9:30?

THE COURT: Do you need the defendant to look at these items? I think he should be here at nine. I think everybody should be here at nine. I don't want to leave him out of any of the discussion.

Thank you very much, Deputies.

(Proceedings adjourned at 5:05 p.m. to resume on June 19, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.)
