Karen Reid back in court again today, and we're going to take you right there for all of the coverage of what's going on in that courtroom and the follow-ups with Judge Beverly Canone.

0:21.2

Let's go there right now.

0:22.6

For we begin, realizing how much everybody has to do before this trial, I won't have

0:31.9

the voir dire of the arch of witnesses next week.

0:35.2

We'll have it before they testify.

0:37.1

We'll do it the day before they testify.

0:40.6

And we'll give you until then to comply with all Rule 14 discovery and see where we stand.

Rule 14. Yes. Got it. Thank you. Does that work for the Commonwealth? My concern is if we have questioning of the witnesses the day before their testimony,

1:31.6

and part of that includes a production of records, and they don't have the records with them,

1:35.8

they're going to be unable to produce them because they would have to return home.

1:39.2

So we'll need that, Mr. Alessi, okay?

1:42.7
