With jury out Judge: Shall we address Mr. Brendan Paul now? AUSA: Better tomorrow morning. Judge: The Special Agent will be on all day? AUSA: Even into tomorrow. Then Mr. Paul, than a final summary witness.
Judge: What witnesses would the defense be putting on on Friday? Combs' Agnifilo: Three witnesses... Vashta Wilson, Stephan Lind[something, strange pronunciation], and a paralegal in our office AUSA: We don't have any of those charts yet
Judge: In terms of defense expert, I'd like the Daubert issues teed up. AUSA: We'll work on it. Combs' Shapiro: We'll be providing the Government with a supplemental response to Dr. Hughes' actual testimony
Combs' Shapiro: This Special Agent has no personal knowledge, she is just connecting up exhibits and asking the jurors to interpret them. This is not appropriate for a summary witness. It's just hotel records and flight records
AUSA Comey: Mr. Combs and Jules Theodore were discussing being in the same place at the same time. If this objection is sustained, we'll just have the Special Agent read in every text message. Judge: This witness has no personal knowledge. She put together charts
