Defense Position: The defense anticipates it will present a defense case, which it currently estimates will last approximately two weeks. That estimate may change after the defense has had an opportunity to review the Government's witness and exhibit lists which were made available to defense counsel last night after the close of business.” Additionally, as a general matter, the defense believes that the length of cross-examination is determined by the scope of the direct examination, not its length. Joint Position: Accordingly, the parties jointly request that the Court seat only jurors with availability beyond the Christmas holiday.
