| 0:00.0 | It is day 11 of testimony in the Donna Idelson trial. |
| 0:05.0 | And in as many days, two days, there has been another sequestration disaster of sorts. |
| 0:14.3 | Yet another witness was in the gallery and caught the attention of Judge Stephen Everett. There was an entire proffer about it, |
| 0:25.0 | and ultimately Judge Stephen Everett decided to let this witness, another divorce attorney, |
