Defense attorneys cited several cases to back up the motion. The judge dismissed jurors until Monday at 9:30, explaining that 11 cases were docketed for the week but that only three reached the jury. The olhers were settled or set over, so the jurors aren't need ed again until Monday.

The judges do "lots of work you don't see at all," he re minded. On Monday, criminal trials will resume in Courtroom B, and civil cases in Courtroom A of the new west wing of the courthouse.
