17 linesCASEY SECOR: Just renew our objection to the charges that were made or not made that exist in Court's Exhibit 106.
THE COURT: Yes, sir. You're protected particularly on the involuntary intoxication as well as the consequences of the verdicts.
CASEY SECOR: Yes sir, thank you.
THE COURT: And any other ones in there, too.
CASEY SECOR: Yes, sir, thank you.
THE COURT: Most of which were resolved. (WHEREUPON, a short break was taken while the exhibits were checked to go to the jury.)
THE COURT: Are you ready, Joy?
COURT REPORTER: Yes.
THE COURT: Whether we've got to make a record or not, out of an abundance of caution, I am going to make a record of allocution of this. Mr. Madsen, y'all have advised your client that he has a right to speak with the jury during closings?
ROBERT MADSEN: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: And does he wish to make a closing?
ROBERT MADSEN: He does not.
THE COURT: All right. Mr. Jones, I'm going to ask you. You have a right to make a closing to this jury today. Would you like to?
TIMOTHY RAY JONES, JR.: No, sir.
THE COURT: Are you waiving your right to speak to the jury today, guilt or innocence, freely and voluntarily?
TIMOTHY RAY JONES, JR.: The attorneys have already said and I will say, so yes, I am.
THE COURT: Very good. Okay, that's all I need.
