MR. X:
It was just a lot of what we
are discussing right here.
 
MR. TYSON:
Would you like to approach and
we can talk to the Judge in private at the bench so we
can get some more information on that? Could you
approach?
 
THE COURT:
Why don’t you come forward,
Mr. X?
 
(Whereupon, a bench conference was held
out of the hearing of the rest of the jury panel.)
 
THE COURT:
Is everybody ready? Mr. X
we just asked you to come forward because I think the
parties would like to know a little bit more about it,
and we would like to respect your privacy as much as
possible. So I am going to let either side ask you some
questions, okay?
 
MR. X:
Okay.
THE COURT:
And understand that this is
all on the record, but you need to respond to the
questions as best you can.
 
MR. X:
Okay.
MR. TYSON:
Could you please express the
concerns about being fair and impartial and prior
background that may influence that?
