33/ McB:
Merchan is now addressing the jury: normally you'd hear summations now, but in a case like this, summations will take a while, as will his jury instructions, which he predicts will take an hour.
Bc we're meeting only today and Thurs, Merchan says there's no way we could do what needs to be done in a cohesive manner, it would be too broken upâbest thing would be to adjourn now until Tues. At that time they'll hear summations, then the jury charge, then deliberations.
34/ Pagliery:
He'll let the jury go home today early. They'll be off for quite the extended weekend.
We'll come back next Tuesday to hear lawyers deliver closing arguments. Wednesday, he'll give them instructions & they can start deliberating.
35/ Pagliery:
Jury steps out. Judge says lawyers can start working on proposed jury charges.
McB:
Now we're all excused until 2:15, when we're pick up the charging conference.
36/ McB:
Thinking ahead to next Tues, Merchan isn't 100% sure we'll finish both summations, so he asks if they'd consider working late that day.
Jury is excused until next week, after Memorial Day.
