to go back over in the voir dire and inquire about. I'm not
going to stick to that script exactly, I'm going to have a
conversation with the jurors, but you know what I'm going to
ask about.
With respect to individual places and entities, the
parties submitted that list to the Court last night, and what
we'll do is the list, as we've discussed, contains the name of
witnesses who I've permitted to testify under pseudonyms. So
we've rearranged that list so it's by letter or number, we'll
show the list to the prospective juror, ask them to read the
names, do they recognize any of those names, and if so, to
indicate what letter. If they indicate the letter of a witness
who has been granted permission to testify under pseudonym,
we'll discuss at sidebar and presumably sealed, so as not to
identify that witness. The rest, to the extent a juror has
knowledge of anyone on the list, it can be discussed in open
court. Same for the list of entities.
There's one inclusion on the list, I think just one,
which is a specific employer name that I've indicated would not
be discussed in open court because that would undermine the
protection for the witness who has been granted permission to
proceed by pseudonym.
We'll bracket that for a moment. I want to discuss
with the parties how I intend to handle that. But to the
extent that might include discussing the specific employer,
going to stick to that script exactly, I'm going to have a
conversation with the jurors, but you know what I'm going to
ask about.
