You know, Mike, one of the other things is that they talk about his family members testifying,

0:06.1

and they called it a sequestration orders.

So that, because the family also wants to be in the courtroom.

0:15.1

So the judge's idea, and he has to first query the prosecution as,

0:19.6

who do you intend to call as a witness? And if you do

0:24.2

intend to call them as a witness, the court wants to make sure they go on very early in the case
