THE COURT: Everybody agree?
MS. CLARKE: Yes.

MR. CHAKRAVARTY: Thank you.
MS. CLARKE: Thank you, your Honor.

Jurors, you have now been selected to serve as the trial jurors and alternates in this case. In a moment we're going to have you come back into the back room and have some logistical discussions with you about proceeding.
The other jurors may return to the jury room. They're excused. I guess you don't have to go to the jury room. See the jury clerk on the way out. You'll be excused.
(The venire is excused.)
THE COURT: All right. We will recess until tomorrow morning formally when we will begin the presentation, the swearing of the jury and the presentation of the case. For now, jurors, we would like you to go into the jury room for a little, as I say, orientation and explanation of how we'll be proceeding as a logistical matter, all right?
The jury will withdraw.
COURT CLERK: All rise.
(The Court and jury exit the courtroom and the proceedings concluded at 12:40 p.m.)
