Jurors heard one witness, Sheila Cavenaugh, and were excused until Friday; lawyers then completed a preliminary charge conference before court recessed.
[VERIFIED FACT] Judge Sullivan described a shortened jury day caused by an unspecified issue unrelated to the parties or attorneys and instructed jurors not to speculate or draw an adverse inference. Sheila Cavenaugh was the only witness heard before jurors, who were excused until August 21 at 9:00 a.m. ET. [ALLEGATION] After jurors left, counsel completed a preliminary charge conference that included competing positions about a possible intoxication instruction. Those positions are argument, not evidence or a final instruction. The defense case remains underway and there is no verdict.
