| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:11.0 | 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 |
| 0:29.7 | so that they can be seated in the courtroom, which I think is a bit of a distraction, |
| 0:34.8 | especially when someone testified and they're going to be in |
| 0:37.9 | the courtroom. You know, it's almost like going to see a play and have one of the actors sit in the |

| 1:18.7 | the prosecutor Bill Thompson has probably told the judge, you know, who he would like to get |
| 1:23.2 | onto the stand. And therefore, if say, for instance, he's going to ask the mother, I'm sorry, |
| 1:30.0 | the father and one sister to be witnesses. Well, then the other sister and the mother could sit |
| 1:37.6 | behind Koeberger, you know, behind the defense and offer moral support while the other two |
| 1:43.4 | are sequestered. There's some sort of |
| 1:44.8 | balancing act he's going to try to get the prosecution and the defense to agree to for just |
