has not already said they can’t be here for the three
days? And you are Ms. X?
 
MS. X:
Are you saying that the trial
would go on after 6:00?
 
THE COURT:
It is possible that it might,
but it’s not my intention to let it go well beyond 6:00.
Just once in a while it may be the wrong time to break
because we are in the middle of something that should
finish before we break. Okay. Is 6:00 a concern for
you?
 
MS. X:
Yes, because I catch the bus
out here.
 
THE COURT:
When is the last bus, do you
know?
 
MS. X:
I think about 5:00 or 6:00.
THE COURT:
Does anybody know? Nobody
knows.
 
THE SHERIFF: We have the schedule
downstairs.
 
THE COURT:
We will figure that out,
ma’am. I appreciate you telling me that. Anybody else
that we need to hear from on these issues? Ms. X
 brought a very good point. We brought you down
here, we are going to ask you to sit here for three days.
I sure hate to do that and torture somebody
