IF PROSPECTIVE JUROR 486 IS SELECTED TO SIT AS A JUROR, OPENING STATEMENTS WILL TAKE PLACE ON APRIL 27 AT NOON TO ACCOMMODATE HER WEDDING SCHEDULE. THE PEOPLE MAKE A RECORD THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VICTIMS WHO WANT TO BE PRESENT FOR BOTH GROUP VOIR DIRE AND FOR OPENING STATEMENTS. SOME OF THESE VICTIMS WILL BE COMING FROM OUT OF STATE AND THE PEOPLE WOULD PREFER NOT TO TAKE A BREAK BETWEEN GENERAL VOIR DIRE AND OPENING STATEMENTS, AND INSTEAD TO TAKE A BREAK BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL VOIR DIRE AND GROUP VOIR DIRE. THE DEFENSE HAS NO POSITION ON THE REQUEST BUT MAKES A RECORD THAT THEY WOULD PREFER TO HAVE TWO WEEKS OFF, INSTEAD OF ONE. THE COURT ASKS DEFENSE COUNSEL WHETHER THEIR CHANGE OF VENUE MOTION WILL INCLUDE SPECIFIC REFERENCES TO THE QUESTIONNAIRES.

THE COURT INFORMS THE PARTIES THAT IT WILL STOP INDIVIDUAL VOIR DIRE EARLY IF 137 PROSPECTIVE JURORS ARE QUALIFIED FOR GROUP VOIR BEFORE APRIL 10. IN THAT EVENT, THE GROUP VOIR DIRE AND OPENING STATEMENTS DATES WILL REMAIN THE SAME. THAT WOULD GIVE THE DEFENSE ADDITIONAL TIME OFF. THEREFORE, THE REQUEST FOR 2 WEEKS OFF, INSTEAD OF 1 WEEK OF, IS DENIED. THE COURT NOTES THAT THE DEFENSE ASKED FOR 1 OR 2 WEEKS OFF IN MOTION D- 275A. AS SUCH, THE COURT DEEMS ONE WEEK TO BE A GRANT OF THE DEFENDANTS REQUEST. IN TERMS OF THE REQUEST BY THE PROSECUTION TO TAKE ONE WEEK OFF BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL VOIR DIRE AND GROUP VOIR DIRE, INSTEAD OF BETWEEN GROUP VOIR DIRE AND OPENING STATEMENTS, THE COURT DECLINES TO CHANGE THE SCHEDULE IT ANNOUNCED THIS MORNING. THE COURT IS SENSITIVE TO THE WISHES OF THE VICTIMS. BUT THE COURT BELIEVES IT IS UNFAIR NOT TO GIVE THE 24 JURORS SELECTED A LITTLE TIME TO GET THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER BEFORE THEY EMBARK UPON A 4-MONTH OR 5-MONTH TRIAL. THE COURT CONDUCTS VOIR DIRE WITH THE GROUP OF SIX PROSPECTIVE JURORS WHO APPEAR THIS AFTERNOON. THE COURT AND THE PARTIES CONDUCT INDIVIDUAL VOIR DIRE WITH THE SIX PROSPECTIVE JURORS.
